AWK embeded PERL

Hello Guys,

I am refering to this great forum once again for help.
After various attempts at this, I am still failing to obtain the desire effect.

I have to write a perl script which:
1- reads two values from the user (e.g name & passwd)
2- check each value against a file containing the authentic values
3- redirect the user according to his credentials, e.g
if this user is correctly identified (and granted he/she matches
another criteria), he is then directed to a page that only his
criteria allows him/her.
else (ie credentials incorrect)
user is directed to some error page.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far I was able to:
open a file in perl
read the content of the file
read the two values ok

however, I don't know how to "awk" each field of the credential file so that I can put each entry inside a separate perl variable, and then check them against the user's ones.

the awk command I am trying to emulate is:
awk -F: '{print $x}' myfile

then I wish to send the content of $x into a perl variable :-(

N.B I realise that this forum is not meant to write me an entire program, and indeed I do not want that, since I actually want to learn how to do this. However I do welcome any help in this direction.

Thanks in advance

Da Bionic one !

IGAWK(1)							 Utility Commands							  IGAWK(1)

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
