I think Work around for this is, My $usr = $ENV { USER }; If ($usr eq "userA") Go get it Else Access restricted.

I wanted to allow only user below to be able to user the script and was thinking about userA(userid: 1077) userB(userid: 1088) userC(userid: 1099) so, inside of script, I would put, unless ( $userid =~ /1077|1088|1099/ ) { print "You are not authorized to use this\n"; } but I am not sure how to come up w/ $userid ? how do I find out what the userid of person who is using the script? Is there specific perl command for that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
