hello all ...,
i had some posts hers about comment out the named.conf file
the script is simply comment out the zones in the file and it works well
while i was testing script i found that the script is working in an fixed way which means that the zone must be 5 lines
if it not a five line the script won't function as needed .,

Here is the script

 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
 
use strict;
 
print " please enter the domain name: ";
 
my  $targetdomain = <STDIN>;
 
chomp $targetdomain;
 
my  $file = "/home/adam/Desktop/hello";
 
 
open HAN,$file || die "error opening file: $!";
 
my @lines = <HAN> ;
 
close(HAN);
                             
            
      foreach my $x ( 0 .. $#lines ){
  
         if( $lines [$x] =~ m/^zone\s+"$targetdomain"/ ){
  
            for my $n (0 .. 7) {
                      
                      if( $lines[$x+$n] =~ m/^\s};/ ){
                            last  ;                
                }
                          
                $lines[$x+$n] = "//" . $lines[$x+$n];
  
            }
  
         }
  
      }
 
open HAN, ">$file";
 
print HAN $_ for @lines;
 
close(HAN);

i think that if i use the block of "if" if it will find a }; which is really the end of the block it will stop comment
i use last cuz when i used break it didn't work .
but also this method is failed :(
any suggestion
