in reply to array processing

Use a hash. Something like the following

# opening of files etc. my %users = (); while ($line = <errlog>) { chomp $line; next unless ($line =~ /Login succeeded/); $users{(split / /, $line)[6]} ||= 1; } foreach (sort keys %users) { print LOGINF $_, "\n"; } # closing fhs etc
This is untested.

NB: consider using lexical filehandles.
