To set the login_name variable, do you even need to create a procedure? I usually do something like this:
create or replace package p
is

my_login_name varchar2(30) ;
end p ;
/

create or replace package body p
is
begin

my_login_name := user ;
end p ;
/

Then in PL/SQL code I reference p.my_login_name which is set the first time the package is invoked. (idea taken from Oracle PL/SQL Programming, Feuerstein / Pribyl)

What you're thinking of is package variables. Variables declared in the header of a package will persist until they are changed or the user logs out.

e.g.

create or replace package p
is

my_login_name varchar2(30);

procedure setname;

end;
/

create or replace package body p
is

  procedure setname
  is
  begin

my_login_name := user;
end;

end;
/

You can now reference p.my_login_name outside of the package.

Just call the proc from the login trigger.
