Re: Unable to run or troubleshoot a script...

It works fine for me,

$ perl todo.pl larry lingo
larry:finish autostory program:3
larry:read about file i/o:2

$ perl todo.pl tom tonic
tom:order 12 gallons of Vitalis:1
tom:get more paper for clipboard:3

$ perl todo.pl ellie plasma
ellie:find planet-related websites:2

Can you add the username in the error message so you'd know which user failed the password validation?

die "cannot validate user password for $uname\n\t"
   if $passwd ne $ubase{$uname};

Also, do you have problem with strict and warnings?

This shows one of the username password combos I tried, and its result with warnings turned on: `~/bin/lowe_book/ch07 $ perl todo001.pl ellie plasma Name "main::dummy" used only once: possible typo at todo001.pl line 36 +. cannot validate user password at todo001.pl line 23.` [download] I have no trouble with using strict and warnings, but this is code as it appears in the text I'm studying.
