Hi,
I'm trying to write a script to "invert" an alias database file. I mean,
I want to generate a list where the key is the name of the user, and
the value is the list of the aliases this user is involved into.
Something like /etc/group file, as an example.
I was wondering how could I use hashes and arrays to store these
information. The next step is to parse each item (key=username), open
each user's mailbox and look for @alias in any '^To:' line
At this point, the script is:
=============================
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open (ALIASES,'/etc/aliases') or die ("Cannot open /etc/aliases for
input: $!");
my (@dest_users);
while(<ALIASES>)
{
next if(/^[\s]*$/);
next if(/^[\s]*#/);
next if(/:include:/);
chomp;
my ($alias,$realusers)=split(/:/,$_);
#print $aliases."\n";
$realusers =~ s/[\s]//g;
@dest_users=split(/,/,$realusers);
my ($destination);
#print "ALIAS: $alias\n";
foreach $destination (@dest_users) {
#print "==>$destination\n";
# HELP NEEDED HERE!
}
}
=============================
I'm not used to manage perl hashes as I did in multidimensional arrays
in PHP. Is it possible to store an array in a hash item? And how shold I
do that? Which is the way to recall the value?
TIA
Mariano
