Dear All, I am new to Perl. My code below seems to work only on the else statement even when the if evaluate to true:

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

`/export/install/sysmo.sh > /export/install/log.txt`;

print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "<html>";
print "<head>";
print "<title>Account/title>";
print "</head>";
print "<body>";
print "<h2>Hello $user, your  account  - ready</h2>";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
exit(0);

 } else {

print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "<html>";
print "<head>";
print "<title>Account /title>";
print "</head>";
print "<body>";
print "<h2>Your user/pin incorrect  - Use correct input</h2>";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";

}
