I think you need to do:
my %loginhash = {};

Subject: declaring a zero size hash
I'm trying to declare a zero size hash so a sub function can populate it
and
be see by all other sub's.
my %loginHash();
But the "use strict" doesn't like it. All examples of making a hash
structure is hard coded in the program or is made reading from a file.
When
I try to run the script all I get is syntax error near "%loginHash("
What am I missing?
