The object of this project is to develop a Perl script (orph_find.pl) for looking for orphaned homes (home directories without users, or the inverse).
This script should generate a formatted listing of
any user without a home directory...
...or any home directory (a directory in /home) that is not attached to a user.
Remember that the identifying element is the UID, not the username.

i keep getting this error : 

Array found where operator expected at ./orph.pl line 20, near "} "
    (Missing operator before  ?)
Not enough arguments for grep at ./orph.pl line 20, near "grep |"
syntax error at ./orph.pl line 20, near "$eval{"
Execution of ./orph.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
