How to get the "real" title of a category

Is there any way to get the "real" title of a category in a page? Currently i am using

perch_get('cat')

to get the category. In my case for example i get "gunstige-modelle/". What i actually want is the name of the category i created in the backend which would be "Günstige Modelle". Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can use the perch_category() function.

Didn't check the DOC for perch_category(). After trying a bit i used a single template to store only the category name in a variable.

$catName = perch_category('testset/'.$cat, array(
                    'template'=>'category-name.html',
                    'skip-template'=>true,
                    'return-html'=>true
                ));

Thanks for the help Drew (:
