Adam,
Under Windows 2000 (and possibly other Win* operating systems), see
$ENV{USERPROFILE}. If you need a complete pathname:
C:\>perl -MFile::Spec -e "print File::Spec->catfile ($ENV{USERPROFILE}, 'My
Documents')"
C:\Documents and Settings\wyant\My Documents
Beware of the space if you intend to pass this to the glob function under
Windows.

Subject: Determining Default 'My Documents' folder path
I have been looking for a way to determine the path of the 'My Documents'
folder for a PC. I assume this is a registry setting. I did a search for
this through MY registry and the only potential references I can find refer
to a shell32.dll,9227. I don't have a clue as to what that means.
Is there any help someone can provide?
