Let's look at your loops:
while (<USER>) {
@user = split /;/;
}
That loops over each line of the file, splits the line on semicolons, and
sets the @user array to that list returned. You are OVERWRITING the @user
array each time.
foreach ($_) {
unless ($f_name eq $user[0] and $f_pw eq $user[1]) {
print_data($user[0]);
exit;
}
else {
get_name();
exit;
}
}
First, your foreach loop is looping over $_, which at this point holds no
useful value. Your loop will run ONCE. Also, you're calling exit() in
your loop! exit() exits the PROGRAM -- so even if the rest of the program
was right, this would STILL exit the program after the FIRST iteration.
I have a feeling you want to write the code like so:
while (<USER>) {
chomp; # remove the newline
my @user = split /;/;
if ($f_name eq $user[0] and $f_pw eq $user[1]) {
print_data($user[0]);
}
else {
get_name();
}
}
I'm not sure where you'd want exit() in that code.
