i've looked through 'learning perl' 2nd edition, and am confused. much. i 
want to create an interface for system users to update their .forward 
files in their $HOME directories.

I want this to be a web-based interface. The webmail program I am using is 
openwebmail, and doesn't have this functionality, yet. 

I can't be any more of a beginner. I am concerned heavily about security 
also. What I envision is a page with a username and password submit 
fields. If the user exists, and if the password is correct, then it will 
let a field that user fills in their [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that writes to 
their own $HOME/.forward. Also, if they clear the field, and submit, it 
will write over any existing .forward, to disable .forwarding.

If I can figure out the perl side of checking writing over the .forward, 
I'd like to add this to openwebmail. 

Ask away if you've question.

Ken
