Hi Monks, I have a loop condition I need to take $login and run it thorugh an equality check of a array type listing, look at the code below: 

foreach my $file (<passwd.*>){
open (PASSWD,"$file");
$nf="file1";
open (NEWFILE, ">$nf");
while (<PASSWD>) {
        ($login, $passwd, $uid, $gid,
         $gcos, $home, $shell) = split(/:/);
    $USERS{$login} = $gcos;


}
close (PASSWD);
}




foreach $login (sort keys %USERS) {
    $gcos = $USERS{$login};
    
@SKIP = ('adrian','adm','sys','alcatel');
foreach $login ($SKIP) {
    next if $login eq $SKIP;
}    

#next if ($login =~ /adrian|adm|sys|alcatel/);
    print NEWFILE "$login\n";
    }
    close (NEWFILE);

anyone tell me where I am going wrong, I simply want to skip the $login(s) in the @SKIP array. Thanks.
