in thread How do I get different files into an array

Hello james28909,

Thank you for your suggestion I put it in my script but I am missing something. 

"my" variable $file masks earlier declaration in same scope at test-a-
+filehandle.pl line 17.
syntax error at test-a-filehandle.pl line 19, near "<$file> {"
Execution of test-a-filehandle.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

This is how it is placed in my script. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use warnings;
use strict;
use Expect;


my $filename = "/var/tmp/expect_script.log";
my $header = "\r\n\r\n======= system =======\r\n";
my $timeout = 60;
my $file = "/home/amagana/scripts/lists/list_xx";



my @servers;

open (my $file, '<', $ARGV[0]) or die! $!;

while(<$file> {
     push (@servers, $_); #push each line of the file to array
     }

print "$_\n" for(@servers);

for my $server (@servers) {
# do your thing with $server

    change_password($server);

 }


sub change_password {

      my $system = shift;
      my $ssh = Expect->new('ssh amagana@' . $system);


$ssh->debug(1);
$ssh->log_file("$filename");
my $my_header = $header;
$my_header =~ s/system/$system/;
$ssh->print_log_file($my_header);
$ssh->expect ( $timeout,
      [ qr/Password:/],
      [ qr/Are you sure you want to continue connecting \(yes\/no\)?/]

 );

if ($ssh->match() =~ m/Are you sure you want to continue connecting \(
+yes\/no\)?/ ) {
$ssh->send("yes\r");
}

elsif ($ssh->match() =~ m/Password:/ ) {

$ssh->send("mycurrentpassword\n");

}

$ssh->expect(60, '$');
$ssh->send("su - root\n");
$ssh->expect(60, 'Password:');
$ssh->send("rootpassword\n");
$ssh->expect(60, '#');
$ssh->send("hostname\n");
$ssh->expect(60, '#');
$ssh->send("uptime\n");
$ssh->expect(60, '#');
$ssh->send("passwd amagana\n");

$ssh->expect(60, 'New UNIX Password:');  #linux
#$ssh->expect(60, 'New Password:');      #solaris
$ssh->send("mynewpassword\n");

$ssh->expect(60, 'Retype new UNIX password:'); #linux
#$ssh->expect(60, 'Re-enter new Password:');   #solaris
$ssh->send("mynewpassword\n");

$ssh->expect(60, '#');
$ssh->send("exit\n");
$ssh->expect(60, '$');
$ssh->send("exit\n");
$ssh->close();

      Thank you james28909,

      That worked perfectly!, The script stops and says su: incorrect password, these are Linux boxes at when it sends the passwords during the expect/send of su - root.

      Is it because I will have to escape the special characters when it starts to send the strings with special characters, I did not have to do this with Solaris boxes?

      Is there a way to just alway ignore special characters only during the send part of expect?
