Ok, thanks guys for posting, I am posting from within my GoogleGroup Account. Ergo my comment... let's not be critical and get down to the code!
the code I was asking about was :: map { $_ = $$_[0] } @userlist; I dont understand it fully but I got what I wanted to get done with the following::. my @mirapointMatrix = $obj->command_ok(qw/user list/, "","",""); my @accountIndex = map { $_ = $$_[0] } @mirapointMatrix; foreach (@accountIndex) { my $capturedHandle = "$_"; my $quota = $obj->command(qw/quota get storage /, "user. $capturedHandle", ); my @fullQuota = split(/ /,$quota); #split result on special spaced chars if ( $fullQuota[1] == 0 ) { my @accountPOC = $obj->command(qw/user list/, "$capturedHandle","",""); my @accountOwner = map { $_ = $$_[1] } @accountPOC; print "Email address :: $capturedHandle has an $fullQuota[1] active quota.\n"; print "The above analyzed account is owned by $accountOwner[0]\n"; print "total email activity for this account is :: $quota\n\n"; } } Any thoughts or guru insight ? thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
