In my editor the only error is at line 144 where the string is not terminated. Line 208 is blank; line 244 is a } and line 249 is sub on_disconnect. None of these seem likely to be the source of your problems so somehow the lines are out of sync. Exactly what errors do you get and what are the lines? Correcting the syntax error it runs under strict and warnings for me.
