in reply to SPLIT()ing headache

I think the (or at least a) relevant part of your code is: 
 #HERE IS THE SPLIT PROBLEM AREA!
                $tparse=split(/-/,$current);
                $writer=$tparse['2'];

$tparse is a scalar, so split will return a number, like 3.

`perldoc -f split` 

...
               In scalar context, returns the number of fields
               found and splits into the "@_" array.  Use of
               split in scalar context is deprecated, however,
               because it clobbers your subroutine arguments.
