Re: making loop in perl script

[talexb]

It looks like you've posted some code that makes up passwords -- I haven't tried it -- and shown roughly how you call it. Your code fragment isn't complete -- I am guessing you have a list of users and want to create unique passwords for each user, but I can't tell.

Maybe you want to do something like this

my @users = qw/Albert Bob Charlie/;
foreach my $thisUser ( @users ) {
  my $password = makePassword();
  my $sql = "INSERT INTO login (login, password)
             VALUES (?,?)";
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
  $sth->execute($thisUser, $password);
}
