functions that only use /etc/passwd as a file. It's built into the
function and you don't have to declare it.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
setpwent();
while (@list = getpwent()) {
($LOGIN,$PASSWORD,$UID,$GID,$QUOTA,$COMMENT,$GECOS,$HOMEDIR,$SHELL)
= @list[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
print "$LOGIN,$PASSWORD,$UID,$GID,$QUOTA,$COMMENT,$GECOS,$HOMEDIR,$SHELL\n";
}
endpwent();
