Hi Aia. Can you explain this portion of your script to me please?

Code:
print "$group[0]->[0]Users: ", join(", ", @{$group[1]}), "\n";

Specifically this portion:
Code:
print "$group[0]->[0]Users: ",

Thanks

Hi, craigsky

$group[0]->[0] is a dereference to the first element of a referenced array.
The Users: part has nothing to do with the variable, it is that close to it because of the concatenation and it will display as the beginning of another line since $group[0]->[0] will return a string with a newline already.

Perhaps a display of the whole data structure through the loop, might help you:

Code:
$VAR1 = [
          [
            'Groupname1: AEapproval
Description: group for AE approval
'
          ],
          [
            'iwov',
            'm161595',
            'm594670',
            'm803051'
          ]
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          [
            'Groupname2: OES_EMAIL
Description: OES email group with permission to start oes pool workflow
'
          ],
          [
            'iwov',
            'm123053',
            'm270857',
            'm363836'
          ]
        ];


If you're struggling to modify this code to your need in another situation, please, open another thread and post what you have done and we will take a look at it.

Son of a gun, thanks Aia!
Could the following been used as well for this?

Code:
print "$$group[0]"

Nope. That would would imply the following:

Code:
my $group = [
            'Groupname1: AEapproval
Description: group for AE approval
'
          ],
          [
            'iwov',
            'm161595',
            'm594670',
            'm803051'
          ];

However what we have is:
Code:
my @group = (
          [
            'Groupname1: AEapproval
Description: group for AE approval
'
          ],
          [
            'iwov',
            'm161595',
            'm594670',
            'm803051'
          ]
        );

Or in other terms:

Code:
$VAR1 = [
          [
            'Groupname1: AEapproval
Description: group for AE approval
'
          ],
          [
            'iwov',
            'm161595',
            'm594670',
            'm803051'
          ]
        ];
