Subject: Problem with ENV{REMOTE_USER}
Message-Id: <33EF3CB6.41C67EA6@cig.mot.com>
I need to know the name of the person who is accessing my homepage. I
examined the enviroment variable ENV{REMOTE_USER} and ENV{HTTP_FROM} to
get the user's name and email. But both turned out to be null. I then
displayed all the enviroment variables. I found the above two variables
were not defined at all.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or reasons for this? Thanks a lot.

It sounds as if your server never set those variables, probably because
the remote browser never sent that information. Even if the browser had
sent you a name, there's no way to be sure that the name belongs to the
person looking at your page. Many people can use one browser.
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html
I usually recommend the method you've used all your life: When you want to
know somebody's name, ask for it. :-)
(By the way, did you notice that the answer had no Perl in it? This
question and answer would be basically the same no matter what language
your script is written in, so that's a clue that it's not a Perl question.
In this case, it's a CGI question, and it would belong in a CGI newsgroup
- if it's not already in that group's FAQ. :-)
Hope this helps!

You shouldn't modify @aliasfile during a foreach loop which iterates over
it. Instead, you probably want something like this.
@aliasfile = grep !/test/, @aliasfile;
...or maybe you really want to build the array selectively in the first
place.
while (<FILE>) {
push @aliasfile unless /test/;
}
Hope this helps!

Watch out for files called 0 here. I'd probably use
while (defined ($filename = readdir (DIRHANDLE))) {
to keep the readdir "in" the conditional for these kinds of things...

As Tom suggests, your syntax isn't quite right. '\' is a special
character in Perl. If you want '\' to actually mean '\', you must
double it up like '\\'.
Enjoy,
