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.
