Hello I have a text file (newestm.txt) and a hash (%whop). This script is to print out the newest members. I have a whos online script that prints who is online also. I want to print out the newest members and if that member is new and online then it prints out the member name like this, VegeTa343* and if its not on but just one of the newest members then itll just be, VegeTa343.

I decided to read the newestm.txt into a array, and then use a foreach statement to see if that new member is in the DBM file that contains members online.

#open newest
open(NEW,"<$path/newestm.txt");
@newest_members = <NEW>;
close(NEW);

#open whosonline
use DB_File;    
tie %whop, "DB_File", "$path/whosonline" or die "Can't open FILENAME: 
+$!\n";
foreach $newm (@newest_members) {
 #############THIS IS THE PART I DON'T KNOW ;'(
if blahblha (values %whop)       #im figuring its going to need a if s
+tatement
print <<EOF;
$newm<b>*</b> - 
EOF
} 
else {
print <<EOF;
$newm -
EOF
}
}
untie %whop;
dbmclose %whop;
