Re: perl if statement

if (grep /($FORM{user}|$FORM{pin})/i, "/export/install/users.txt") {

What do you expect grep to do here? grep does not read files, it just processes arrays (even those that contain only one string, like "/export/install/users.txt").

(OK, maybe you want that $FORM{user} or $FORM{pin} contain a regular expression that matches the string "/export/install/users.txt", but I doubt that.)
