Hi, I am writing a simple script for user login. When there is username entered that is not in database, how do I get perl to print just one time

print  “<p>You are not registered.</p>”;

instead of after each checked database line. I had it placed in “else” statement and it would print as many “You are not registered” lines as there are entries in database. Here is the part that I am talking about:
open(TEMP,">$tmpfile") || die "Can't create $tmpfile.\n"; foreach $i (@indata) { chomp($i); ($username,$password) = split(/\|/,$i); if ($username eq $in{'oldname'} && $password eq $in{'oldpw'} && $in{ +'delete'} ne "yes") { print TEMP "$in{'oldname'}|$in{'newpw1'}\n"; print "<p>Your password has been changed.</p>"; print "<p>Thank you!</p>\n"; } elsif ($username eq $in{'oldname'} && $password eq $in{'oldpw'} && +$in{'delete'} eq "yes") { print "<p>Your password has been deleted.</p>\n"; print "<p>Thank you!</p>\n"; } else { print TEMP "$i\n"; } } close(TEMP);
Thank you in advance!

Edit, BazB: added code tags

To clarify:
{'oldname'} , {'newpw1'} and {'oldpw'} comes from input form as user is logging in to change the password.
