Hi
I'll try to explain what each of your stmts does:

 my ($mkt,$pass) = split;
assign first word of line (user or whatever that is) to $mkt
and Password (second word of line) to $pass

$passwds{$mkt} = $pass;
assign Password to hash/key %passwds/$mkt
assign User to hash/key %passwds/$pass
At the end you got a hash with every User _AND_ every Password as key. The values contain vice versa the Passwords and the Users.
Now it's impossible to have just a list of the Passwords because you cannot distict them anymore.

just do:
$passwds{$mkt} = $pass; in your loop and then you can get all Users or all Passwords like that:

@listOfPass = (values %passwds);
@listOfUsers = (keys %passwds);

PS
close if stmt with } before accessing the whole list ...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
