I'm running the simple (so I thought) program below to build a list with all my servers. I don't want servers that begin with "w" nor "l" showing on the list. Here's my code: open (PP, "net view |") || die "$!\n"; while (<PP>){ $machine = split; if ($machine =~ m@^\\^wl.@i){ push(@servers,$machine); } } close PP || die "$!\n"; open (OUT,">servers.log") || die "$!\n"; while (@servers){ print OUT "$_\n"; } print "List built!\n"; close OUT || die "$!\n"; I think the problem is with the regexp but I can't see it! Can someone help me out? Thanks
