Hi everyone,

This is the first time I've done this, so I hope I'm doing it properly. This should be fairly simple for anyone fairly experienced. Thanks in advance. :) 

# I have a hash of usernames %postiniList.
# I have another hash of usernames %ldapList.
# I have a text file in the working dir called
# users.txt which contains one line per email
# address with other unnecessary crap also.
# We are traversing %postiniList to see if each key exists
# in %ldapList and take action if it does NOT.

foreach (keys %postiniList) {
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+        
   if(exists $ldapList{$_}) {
      print "$_ exists in ldap\n";
      next;
   } else {
      print "$_ does not exist in ldap\n";
      my $emailString = `cat users.txt |grep $_`;
      # these next three lines are messing it all up!
      if($emailString =~ /(\w+\@\w+\.\w+)/) {
         print "deleteuser $1\n";
      }
   }
}
