but i also made it so that i can do it on a mass level of 100 or more computers.

How about if you work out how to make your mass rename work, then come back and ask about improving response times.

Hint: In your code each call to Win32::AdminMisc looks something like:

my $thing = Win32::AdminMisc::RenameUser($server, ...

but when you use your mass rename facility, the variable $server is set to a filename with '.txt' on the end:

if ($server =~ m/txt/) { open(DAT, $server) or die "Could not open file!\n"; @computers=<DAT>; close(DAT); foreach $computer(@computers) { if ($computer =~ /\n/) { chomp($computer); } }

So that isn't going to work. You should really learn to pass parameters to your subroutines instead of using global variables. It makes this sort of thing much easier to see.

BTW. The last 5 lines above are effectively the same as

chomp @computers;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
