in thread help on searching a file

Completely untested, so take it with a grain of salt.
my $pessoais = "produtos/pessoais.dat"; my $mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; my $search_for = "a"; my $search_field = "all"; my @results = () search_database($pessoais, $search_for); my $count = @results; # I'll assume that @results is a global foreach my $result (@results) { my ($key, $description, $speed, $ref, $qid) = split(/\|/, $result) +; # the print MAIL confuses me as I can't see where it # was opened or where %FORM is from (params?), so # I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. }
