I tried that and it doesn't work because it only enters that part of the if condition, if $host (the machine you are logged into at that time, which I have set with $host =`hostname`) doesn't equal $system->{host}
if ( not $system->{host}{$host})
I need to be able to dreference $system->{host} so it will come up with the name of the hostname, but I don't think that will work because the hostname is the key rather than the value. I think I might have to change my hash.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
