Since you're doing a string compare on $groupname, you need to use 'ne', not
'!='.
<code>
foreach my $file (@files) {
#getgrpid returns the group file entry for a given group id.
my $groupname = (getgrgid((stat($file))[5]))[0];
if ($groupname ne "groupname") {
print "$file has bad groupname: $groupname\n";
}
}
</code>
(since "foo" == "bar" numerically)
