[UPHPU] XMP and PERL issue

[Trevyn Meyer]

users.xml stores my users.

On first submit it checks for the user, and adds the user correctly if 
not found.
On Second submit it checks for the user, and adds the user Incorrectly 
because it didnt find it even tough it is thier.
On Thrid submit it checks for the user, and finds it.

What am I doing wrong?

Reads the XML
my $users = read_users_xml($USERFILE);

Checks for the user. 
my $check = $users->{user}->{$id};
   if(defined($check)
