--aplogies forgot Subject line Hi guys I am having trouble trying to figure out how to do a match between two hashes basically I have the $login and $gid from the passwd file and the $gid and $gname fields from the group file. (I got these from getpwent and getgrent) #!/util/perl5.static -w # Build phash %phash = (); $gid => $login @gid = keys( %phash ); # Build ghash %ghash = (); $gname => $gid # Match $login to $group foreach $gid (@gid) { if ($gid =~ / /; ) { #Build $login => $gname Hash } }
