  • This version of id follows BSD and only supports one user argument
  • Instead of ignoring extra arguments, print usage and exit as done by OpenBSD version
  • test1: valid usage: "perl id 0" --> display root user on my Linux system
  • test2: invalid usage: "perl id 0 0 0 0 0" --> previously did not raise error
  • test3: valid usage: "perl id" --> user taken as "current user"
