Can someone help make this snippet work better? I have more names to test against (I don't want people trying to post under the admin's name) and it's just too messy doing the test like this. Is there a way to put all the names in @names and if the name exists in there, do this check?
my $ip = ""; # my IP, of course if ($name eq "Administrator" && $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} ne "$ip" || $name eq + "administrator" && $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} ne "$ip" || $name eq "Admin" && $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} ne "$ip" || $name eq "webmaste +r" && $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} ne "$ip") { print "<font color=red>You are not authorized to post as the Adminis +trator</font>"; exit; }
