Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

i have just tried something in perl

#!/path/to/perl
print "login: ";
$login = <STDIN>;

print "\npassword: ";
$password = <STDIN>;

print "Username=$login\n";
print "Password=$password\n";

And it doesnt work, anyone know how i can get more than one line?

Cheers,

Elfyn

Why do you need to get more than one line?

$login = <STDIN>;
$password = <STDIN>;

should each read one line from the keyboard. Is that what you are tying to do?

I need to get to lines of input username/password and then run them against a login program.
