You can use that approach on Windows, too. You have to test if you're
running on Windows, though. To get the user's home directory, you can
getenv('USERPROFILE') and use that instead of ~.

Forget the environment, not portable anyway. Write your info into a
simple text file, and read that. On Unix a .myapprc file in the users
home will do, for Windows you have to do something else. Leave the
environment to the user, do not mess with it.
