Some of your logic is a bit scary, so I haven't changed too much. You might need to check it carefully. Can you explain what you ment?

And thanks for your pre answer

    Oh, I just mean that there are a few globals which make me a bit uncomfortable and your error handling is (to my eyes) a bit bizarre. The more "Perlish" approach would be to return a false value for smaller errors and to just die on fatal stuff.
