Task:
The personnel department at Wargames Technologies require a suite of Bash/Perl scripts that can create and maintain additional information about users stored as a file. This information file should contain username, address, e-mail address, telephone extension number, username of their manager, start date, and end date, organised sequentially by start date.
To achieve this goal you are required to create scripts to:
(i) add a record to the information file making sure that there are no duplicate entries and that the usernames exist on the system;
(ii) amend an entry in the information file;
(iii) delete an entry from the information file making sure that more than one entry is not deleted at a time (i.e. make sure that the search only selects one item in the file);
(iv) given a username return specific information, such as full name, address, e-mail address, home directory, and manager’s name;
(v) display the following information, suitably formatted, for all users: full name, address, home directory, shell used, e-mail address, the name of the primary group to which they belong, and the exact amount of time they have worked for the company.
In addition:
(vi) create a ‘master script’ that allows you to run the above scripts from a menu system. This script should create an audit trail of all transactions involving the information file;
(vii) Ensure that the scripts are given simple and sensible names, e.g. [login to view URL], [login to view URL], etc
Hello,
I am the premier Perl scripting expert on these freelancing sites. I have the skills to create scripts for these tasks in Perl or Bash shell. However, I strong encourage you to choose Perl scripts for all your administrative support tasks.
I will create these scripts to perform these tasks. The scripts will be well-structured with supporting documentation.

Hello!
You want script exactly on the perl? Or as in description, can be done in the bash?
If the bash allowed, I can offer to you, write a script on shell + awk, or on pure awk.
Also possible done in the perl.
I have a extensive experience writing scripts, mainly in the shell. Often, task are similar to your (for various task, need create a db for some information).
Thanks!
Although I feel like the project is under budgeted I believe it can be greatly simplified if the we can assume the file that we are adding and deleting from is relatively small (say under 2GB). The audit file can be larger without issues. If you do want the database file to be larger than a few GBs. I recommend using a database file. I can implement a "serverless" database like SQLite. I think this would be a better long term solution either way.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
