Hello List:
Hello,
I'm new to Perl so be gentle. I'm looking for a quick function or routine that given a list of user names on a system (possibly from /etc/passwd entries),
perldoc -f setpwent perldoc -f getpwent perldoc -f endpwent perldoc -f getpwnam perldoc -f getpwuid
will: (1) obtain each user's last login date

(2) parse and append this information into 5 separate list variables
Perl doesn't have "list variables", just scalars, arrays and hashes. Probably better to use a single hash of arrays or hash of hashes etc. perldoc perldsc perldoc perllol
(i.e. group1, group2, etc). The overall objective here is to check for dormant accounts, grouping accounts according to the last dates they were logged into and then producing a report. Thanks.
Good luck with that. Ask here if you need any more help.
