On my Solaris 7 unix.
I am trying to fetch a unique name of html or htm owners. Basically get names of all our web authors and a total count.

From my "ls -l" I just need the owner of the html or htm file and get a person's name just once where I dont see two of the same names. For example if I get these names for all html or htm owners:

Jones
Jones
Smith
Smith
Richards
[download]

I only need unique names such as:

Jones
Smith
Richards
[download]

My attempt to do it in Perl:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
open STDERR, "> /dev/null" || die "Cant redirect standrd error: $!";
use File::Find;
use strict;
print "Web owners\n";
print "----------\n\n";
my $ct = 0;
sub search
{
   if( $_ =~ /\.html?$/)
   {
       $datetime = scalar(localtime(time));
       my $name = $File::Find::name;
       open ( F, $name ) or die "$!: $name\n";
           while(my $owner = <F>)
             {
             ($ownerid, $groupid) = (stat( "$owner" ))[4];
             $ownerName = getpwuid($ownerid);
                 {
                 $ownerName{$1} = 1;
                 }
             } 
  close F;
   }
}
my $dirs = '/thisdirectory/directory';

find( \&search, $dirs));

foreach (keys %ownername)
{
      print "$_\n";
}  
print "$ct\n";

• 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).
