Here is the snippit I wrote: 

sub verify {
     open FILE, "$user_file" || die "Can't open user's login files: $!
+";
     while(<FILE>) {
          my ($user,$pass)=split(/\|/);
          foreach $user($user) {
               if ($user eq $q->param('ueq &encrypt_pass) {
                    &good;
               } else {
                    &bad;
               }
          }
     }
     close FILE;
}

Basically given that user|encrypted_pass| for each user will be on a seperate line in the file $user_file, I want to verify that the username/password is correct. In the first form of my script, the user inputs their username and password, after pushing "Submit", this piece of code is run. However, this only reads the first line, not every line for some reason.

I have this same piece in another program (same function) that does not use the CGI.pm modual, but it works there. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. Anyone have any ideas? Keep in mind, I'm still learning the modual, so I might just be missing something obvious here.
