good God Man! no one uses 'ipl' - it will scare the kiddies....
Wags is correct that what you want to do is build a db solution,
most likely something with the tie....
since what you are trying to do is parse out when they were last
observed - hence a decent should would be a cron job that fires
nightly to
a) update the DB
b) traverse the DB for
b1: person not logged in for K days
b2: accounts no longer in the nis/nisplus/LDAP/userManagementTool
I would of course recommend that you do flat last - and cache when
you saw the data....
my $lastTag =getLastTag();
open(FH, "last |")....
while (<FH>) {
last if /$lastTag/ ;
#scarf up data for post processing
.....
}
