Hi,

I am using Data::Dumper to store log contents into two hashes ( %users and %searches ). I have connection number as common string between two hashes. I would like to perform a search on %Searches, get the connection number, and perform a lookup on %users hash value, if matched, count the total # of connections, if connection # greater than 3, print "bad user" statement.

Please note :

1. Connection # are unique. 2. Ideally connection # within %Users should be present, if connection # not found, no action required.

Could somone suggest on the last section, as it is not working? Also, if there is a better way to do it, please suggest.

Here is the code :

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

open(IN, "logs.txt") or die "can not open file";

my %users;
my %searches;
my %counts = ();
my $conn;
my $conn1;
my $uid;
my %num;
use Data::Dumper;

while (<IN>){
   if (/BIND/){
           ($conn) = /conn=(\d+)\s/;
           ($uid) = /uid=(.*?),/;
           push @{$users{$uid}}, $conn;
           }
           if (/SRCH=Q/){
           ($conn1) = /conn=(\d+)\s/;
           my (@line) = split(" ",$_);
           my $timestamp = "$line[0]\n";
           push @{$searches{$conn1}}, $timestamp;
   }
}

my $count = @{$users{$uid}};   # get the size of the array (all elemen
+ts)

 
if (defined $users{$conn1}) # search to check existing of conn to uid.
     {
        
        print $count;
        if ($count > 0)
        {
            print exist;
            print "bad users"; ## user group add command.
        }
     }
