Im currently in my first Unix class. The teacher wants us to write out a script using the unix info. we have learned so far. Im a beginner, so I will explain this the best way I can, please bear w/ me....thanks for your time :-)
I am doing this locally looking on a local college server.
This is the Script I am have trouble writing.
After the user enters in his/her userid, I need to look in that users $Home/.plan file and have just the words "no plan"
appear on the screen. It should be a simple one line script to do this, but I have no clue....I hope this explianation helps....
Thanks so much!

net::xmpp::jid
Net::XMPP::JID(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::XMPP::JID(3)
NAME
Net::XMPP::JID - XMPP JID Module
SYNOPSIS
Net::XMPP::JID is a companion to the Net::XMPP module.
It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
parts of a Jabber ID (userid on a server).
DESCRIPTION
To initialize the JID you must pass it the string that represents the
jid from the XML packet. Inside the XMPP modules this is done
automatically and the JID object is returned instead of a string.
For example, in the callback function for the XMPP object foo:
use Net::XMPP;
sub foo {
my $foo = new Net::XMPP::Foo(@_);
my $from = $foo->GetFrom();
my $JID = new Net::XMPP::JID($from);
.
.
.
}
You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.
To create a new JID to send to the server:
use Net::XMPP;
$JID = new Net::XMPP::JID();
Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag
before sending it.
Retrieval functions
$userid = $JID->GetUserID();
$server = $JID->GetServer();
$resource = $JID->GetResource();
$JID = $JID->GetJID();
$fullJID = $JID->GetJID("full");
$baseJID = $JID->GetJID("base");
Creation functions
$JID->SetJID(userid=>"bob",
server=>"jabber.org",
resource=>"Work");
$JID->SetJID('blue@moon.org/Home');
$JID->SetUserID("foo");
$JID->SetServer("bar.net");
$JID->SetResource("Foo Bar");
METHODS
Retrieval functions
GetUserID() - returns a string with the userid of the JID.
If the string is an address (bob%jabber.org) then
the function will return it as an address
(bob@jabber.org).
GetServer() - returns a string with the server of the JID.
GetResource() - returns a string with the resource of the JID.
GetJID() - returns a string that represents the JID stored
GetJID("full") within. If the "full" string is specified, then
GetJID("base") you get the full JID, including Resource, which
should be used to send to the server. If the "base",
string is specified, then you will just get
user@server, or the base JID.
Creation functions
SetJID(userid=>string, - set multiple fields in the jid at
server=>string, one time. This is a cumulative
resource=>string) and over writing action. If you set
SetJID(string) the "userid" attribute twice, the second
setting is what is used. If you set
the server, and then set the resource
then both will be in the jid. If all
you pass is a string, then that string
is used as the JID. For valid settings
read the specific Set functions below.
SetUserID(string) - sets the userid. Must be a valid userid or the
server will complain if you try to use this JID
to talk to the server. If the string is an
address then it will be converted to the %
form suitable for using as a User ID.
SetServer(string) - sets the server. Must be a valid host on the
network or the server will not be able to talk
to it.
SetResource(string) - sets the resource of the userid to talk to.
