when i read the above file and process using this script 
foreach $username(@arry){ 
    next if $username =~ /ipw\.[0-9]/i;
    next if ($username =~ /ipw\.a[^a-m][a-z]*/); 
        print "$username \n";

its should print 
ipw.anartc
ipw.angrtf
ipw.aohyuy
ipw.rbvfghtj
ipw.rprhhjf
ipw.rdfghy

that means it should not skip if use name starts with ipw.an* and am * ...az
