I have used some of the ideas presented to make new code:

http://3rd-element.net/code/gabriel/perl/doctrans.txt

It produces no errors... and no results.

The code should be finding the shortname and longname for each user from one file, and finding their old user number by matching the long name from the first file, to the one in the second. Then, it should be copying from the old directory to the new one. hopefully, the comments speak for themselves. any and all help welcome. thanks


Update: I may have to fix this later with a new problem But as for the above? Well... I wrote 3 subroutines, and didnt invoke a single one of them. who knew you spelled stupid with a gsr
