A second perl instance was something I had considered before I made this post but it seemed extreme so I thought I would ask for help first. I am glad I did because what haukex wrote fixed me right up. I am running to different scripts depending which server I need to reach out to. Thanks for the help. To answer your other questions my production environment is Red Hat but once I started messing around with the initial package I needed a development environment to play with. I ended up installing Strawberry Perl on my Windows workstation for that purpose and while it wasn't ideal, it worked well enough.
