Be careful with hard coded infinite loops...
Why not kill two birds with one stone:

my $answer = 'n'; # no uninitialized value warnings, one bird...
...
print "Remove licenses for user $userid (Y for yes or anything else for
No)? ";
chomp($answer = <STDIN> );
if ($answer =~ m/^[yY]$/) {
print "Enter your userid: ";
chomp($userid = <STDIN> );
} else {
print "$userid is your userid.\n";
}
# no infinite loop, and less code = birds 2 and 3 ;p

I'd recommend avoiding while(1) loops unless you have a really really
good reason to, and there aren't many if any...

again, while(1) why? there is a better way...

I seem to remember someone saying goto was slow/pointless/not portable
or something that made me think there were better ways, but I could be
wrong like living in a cave just outside the city, sure its there but
wouldn't a house be better, something like that, a bit foggy - anyone ?? :)

see perldoc -f goto

my preference for several reasons:

print "No licenses found.\n" if !$count;
