Hello Monks

I really did not want to ask this but i am really stuck and have no way out so desperately in need of some guidance. I'm trying to create a script that read a large file of sendmail log, store it in $HoAoA and grep the email address entered from prompt and return all the entries related to that email based on the $id. This is what i have now.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper; <
my %HoAoA;
while ( <DATA> ) {
my @fields = split(/:,\s+/, $_, 4);
push @{ $HoAoA{$fields1} }, [ @fields0,2,3 ];
}
my @addresses;
foreach my $id ( keys %HoAoA ) {
if ( grep(/econgame\@worldgameofeconomics.com/, $HoAoA{$id}->[0]1, $HoAoA{$id}->11) ) {
push @addresses, $HoAoA{$id}->[0]1, $HoAoA{$id}->11;
}
}

It works for some emails such as cj@oreilly.com but not for all. I really don't understand why. Please help. Thank you all.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
