In case you haven't figured it out yet, you're really close. In your while loop, change this: `if ( $key =~ m/^$error.*/ ) {` [download] to this: `if ( $error =~ m/^$key:/ ) {` [download] Then again, maybe I totally misunderstood your question.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`while ( my ( $key, $value ) = each %pwd_reset_errors ) { if ( $key =~ m/^$error./ ) { ... }` [download] This iterates thru the hash list %pwd_reset_errors* right? So whats wrong with doing it like this above IF the key matches the error code? Why would you want to match it the other way around? I am just asking for better understanding :) To me its like you wanting to do soemthing of this nature: `my $one = 1; if ($one =~ 1){ ... }elsif(1 =~ $one){ ... }` [download] Why would it matter if $one eq 1 or 1 eq $one, they were both the same thing. But like i said i am just asking for better understanding. EDIT: I just realized that Net::LDAP error is quite different than your keys in the hash. You could split the error code from Net::LDAP so it just contains everything before ':' and then match either way. EDIT 2: I had to much coffee. ;l	[reply] [d/l] [select]
