Perl2.pl returns the record of data for username and associate field names by finding the matching username/password record in the file. Then in Per1.pl, display the record with the field names on a web page (i.e. fullname = jack smith, address=1464 w street ave ) note: the special character in the record must stay in the record in the return trip. Perl1.pl has a 'require ossd.cfg' line. Perl2.pl has a 'require ospd.cfg' line. ossd.cfg and ospd.cfg have the same variables in them and obviously the content is different.
