Back from a three week vacation...
Since you asked for some hints, I decided to rewrite your little script so that takes better advantages of of perl's capabilities.
Enjoy, Henry

Hello all,
Me (with a ton of perl help from sil of www.silenttech.com) wrote this short addition to Larry M Smith's version of checkpassword.pl.
Basically, it reads /etc/mail/virtusertable, and recurses on the email used as the login until it gets to an address that is local. If the user enters no domain it skips the virtusertable search all together. I tried to check for problems in virtusertable and bad input as much as I could. First time ever using perl, and first time writing anything like this, so it could be all messed up. :)
I tried to comment heavily, I'm hoping someone here might have some helpful hints or be able to point out any glaring errors. :) Barring those, it does seem to work so far. :)
Thanks! Ben
