I have a subroutine that I would like to run against two data sources and print to different lexical filehandles depending on the original entry point (the routine recurses through Active Directory trees).
open($eis_fh, ">", "EIS.txt") or die "no handle to write EIS users"; Roundup($EIS_O, $eis_fh); sub Roundup { my ($root, $fh) = (@_); foreach (in $root) { my $thing = $_; if ($thing->{class} eq 'organizationalUnit') { my $thong; foreach (in $thing) { $thong = $_; Roundup($thong); } } elsif ($thing->{class} eq 'user') { my $string; $string .= $thing->{employeeID}; $string .= "\t" ; $string .= $thing->{sAMAccountName} ; $string .= "\t" ; $string .= $thing->{department} ; $string .= "\t" ; $string .= $thing->{o} ; $string .= "\t" ; $string .= $thing->{physicalDeliveryOfficeName} ; $string .= "\n"; print { $fh } $string; } else { } } }
does not work. What am I overlooking?
