There are a few things wrong with your approach.
- You return the hash when you match a line for a single user
Instead, put the return statement at the end of the sub.
- You replace the contents of the hash for each user
Instead, add a single entry in the hash for each user doing this:
$UID_PATH{$USER} = $UID[5];
For optimization you could decide to return the hash ref, \%UID_PATH instead of a flattened list, but then you'd have to fix the script to use a hashref instead ofa hash, everywhere. (In languages like PHP and Javascript, there is no difference between a hash ref (or a hash. (AKA "associative array" in PHP and "object" in Javascript)

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).
