Hello.
I'm doing an if/elsif/elsif.
It is doing if.  Then elsif and elsif.  I just want it to do one.  either if or elsif. But not both.

Here is what I have: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $agent = "best1agent_start";
my $bgs=<<HERE;
'bgs')
  /usr/bin/su - patrol /usr/adm/best1_default/bgs/scripts/best1collect -q>>\$LOG 2>>\$LOG
  ;;
HERE
my $collect = "    /usr/bin/su - patrol /usr/adm/best1_default/bgs/scripts/best1collect -q>>\$LOG 2>>\$LOG\n";
my $cf_dir = "/export/home/f358118/sysedge";
open SH_FILES, "sys.sh" or die "Error: $!";
my @sh_f=<SH_FILES>;
close SH_FILES;
foreach my $sh(@sh_f){
chomp $sh;
open(OUT, ">/$cf_dir/$sh".".OUT")or die "ERROR $!";
my $line;
 open (SH, "$cf_dir/$sh") or die "ERROR $!";
   while ($line = <SH>){
        if ( $line =~ /!bgs/){
                $line =~ m/'syslogd'\)/;
                 my $newline = $. + 3;
                $newline = $bgs;
                print OUT "$newline\n";
                next;
        } elsif ($line =~ m/$agent/){
                $line = $collect;
                next;
        } elsif ( $line =~ m/best1collect/) {
                $line = $collect;
                next;
        } elsif ($line =~ m/'syslogd'\)/){
                my $newline = $. + 3;
                $newline = $bgs;
                print OUT "$newline\n";
        }
    } continue {
     print OUT $line;
     #print $line;
    }
}

I'm trying to test to see if bgs is in the file.
if it is not.  I add the here document $bgs above syslogd.

But, if it is there.  It adds the $here document anyway.
 I just want it to change one thing and go on to the next file.
'bgs')
  /usr/bin/su - patrol /usr/adm/best1_default/bgs/scripts/best1collect -q>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
  ;;

'syslogd')

If the line is there it changes it.  But, it also adds the here $bgs too.

Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,


Bill
