[TUT] Perl Login script | If / Else [Beginner LVL 3] - FrostByte_mybb_import5923 - 05-10-2011

hey and welcome to my perl login script. This is a very simple look at perl and user logins but does use the if else statements well, hope you enjoy.

so here is the over all code.

Code:
print"\n\n----# Login #----\n";
print"\nUsername: ";

my $input = "Root";
my $user = <STDIN>;
if ($user eq $input) {
print"Welcome...";
}
else {
print"Access denied tracing IP";
}

Explanation.

Code:
\n

just means, newline.

Code:
print"\n\n----# Login #----\n";
print"\nUsername: ";

All this does is prints the text in the Quotation marks.

Code:
my $input = "Root";

this just sets the variable that, my $input = "Root"

Code:
my $user = <STDIN>;

now this is slightly more complex, "my $user" is the Variable and "<STDIN>" simply stands for Standard input. This is where the text is entered.

Code:
if ($user eq $input) {
print"Welcome...";
}
else {
print"Access denied tracing IP";
}

now the If Else statement, this just says that IF $user (the Variable / input text) = "Root" / $input. then it print's the text "Welcome..." else it print's the text "Access denied tracing IP".

very simple very easy to understand. Hope you enjoyed this Perl Tutorial.
