use strict; requires that you declare all variables using my in all scopes. The variable $username is used in your "login" sub, but it is not declared there, nor is it declared as a global variable. Since your call to "login" is:

        login($username, %logins);

I believe you might want:

sub login {
    my $username = shift;
    my %logins = shift;
[download]

You only declare your $time variable in your "greeting" sub, but you use it in the "while" loop.

Okay, I got rid of the errors it was returning, now the only problem is it won't add users, and only one of the default users works! I haven't a clue as to why it is doing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

first i had use strict; use warnings; in there, but it wouldn't run the script. just gave a warning about line 83. then i removed it to see if it would work without the debugging.

Did you consider fixing the bug that caused the warning on line 83?

use warnings; use strict; aren't debugging aids. They help reveal badly constructed Perl. You debug your program after it compiles cleanly.

There are no more warnings. The only problem I have now is adding users, and it will only log in for one of the default users(aharris). What program should I use to debug it?
When I run it, I get:
1. Log in
2. Log out
3. Administration
