will read from the files specified as arguments I believe. I do
this:
print Would you like to remove this file? (Y/N) ;
my $input = STDIN;
if ($input =~ /^[yY]$/) {
unlink($filename) print File '$filename' has been deleted.\n;
}
This requires the user to hit y or Y and then ENTER. It is possible to
do this without the enter but it takes more work.

You text example leaves something to the imagination.
From the text above, and your requirements, it seems like
you can just search the whole file for 'moe'. When does
a 'Users'-part end? I'm guessing occurences of 'moe' outside
a Users-part shouldn't be handled?
Not really sure if this a valid way to do it, I've never nested reads on
the same filehandle myself.

Do you have any idea to implement this purging that can be done in time for any number of tables containing millions of records in a loop. i need to implement this in perl, with DBI-informix interface. This isn't really a Perl question. The first thing I would ask is what percentage of the table's rows are you deleting? 1 percent? 50 percent? 90 percent? If the percentage is low, you can improve performance by creating an index on the date column and using a properly optimizable WHERE clause. If the percentage is very high, you might offload the rows to keep to a temp table, truncate the big table (which is usually fast), and reload the rows to keep. There isn't going to be a Perl approach that is faster than a simple DELETE FROM foo WHERE date ? to delete a bunch of rows from the table. This is a database question, not a Perl question.

been able to assign to a variable from a pattern match within an IF
statement:
if ( /^From:(.*)$/ )
{
$From = $1;
}
Simple enough. But now I wanted to go deeper and capture only the
email address.
Problem is:
$from_ = $From =~ /@/;
returns 1.
I didnt want the return status. In this example I wanted @
And I didnt want to use another IF statement
if ( $From =~ /(@)/ )
{
$from_ = $1;
}
($from_) = $From =~ /(@)/;

First of all, can this be XML instead? Then you can pass off the
parsing to XML::Simple or something similar.
If not, it looks like you want to organize by whitespace. (Like Tor
said, a group end token would help.) It also looks like you want to
end up with something like:
$VAR1 = {
'sometext' = {
'tom' = 1,
'dick' = 1,
'harry' = 1,
'more sometext' = {
'larry' = 1,
'curly' = 1,
'moe' = 1
}
}
};
But possibly not using hashrefs (because you have duplicates) and
possibly not nesting references. Can you be more specific (in a
general way) about your secret requirements?

Try Damian Conway's IO::Prompt:

Use it like this:
use IO::Prompt;
while( prompt next: ) {

Or maybe in your case like this:
$user_input = prompt(
qq[Would you like to remove this file?\nType y or n. ],
-tty, -yes, -no, -onechar, -speed=0.2
);
You can write this by hand, but once Damian has attacked a problem,
there's little point in trying to out-clever him :-)
