what I am after here is capturing what url they are requesting and if it matches then supplying a login page for that particular account, since I don't want to do this 115 times, I was hoping to find a way to match it without iterating over all these possibles, I am not sure if module test:: will run on perl 5.6.1 and am very hesitant to add anything to the perl install as this is a production box. excellent point about the \t I forgot about that. I can't figure out how to get it to even echo what the url is if I type it manually can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. there may be more than one way to do it, but I would like to find the one that works the good news is I already have discovered several that don't 

 sub transform
  {
      if (!$Session->{'isAuthenticated'}) 
      { 
      #Following statement checks if site is www prefix if so it check
+s tempo or mlxhelp and uses appropriate stylesheet
      #for each this only checks www. prefix need another to check the
+ rest of the potential matches
   
    
       
      if ($Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item()=~/(\w+)\.co
+m/) 
       {  
          $domain = $1;
         #$Response->write("This is the domain");
          if ($1 eq 'tempohelp')
          {
          my $trns= $Server->MapPath("Transforms/tpLogin.xsl");
          return $trns;
          }
          if ($1 eq 'mlxhelp')
          {
          $Response->write("This is the domain $1");
          my $trns=$Server->MapPath("Transforms/pLogin.xsl");
          return $trns;
          }
       
       }
       #closes wwww prefix check..
    if (!(substr($Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item(),0,3)
+ eq "www") && !(substr($Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item
+(),0,3) eq "mlx") && !(lc($Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->i

      {
     $Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item() =~ /([\w]*)\./;
