which is weird, but with Thelonius's comment I am able to parse out most of what i want to so im not terribly concerned. but i do still have one weird issue.

i changed my if statement to an unless but i still get bin/sh at the top(

bin/sh
root:x:0:1::

), here is my unless if you desire to examine it
unless( 
      ($input eq "/bin/sh") ||
      ($input eq "\$ ") ||
      ($input eq "/") ||  
      ($input eq "bin/sh")   
    )
