Will look into posting with cleaner code

However, when I say that it is not working, it is not doing what it is designed to do, which is to create a table - and this same code in JAVA does create a table fine

The perl script does not yield any error messages

However, as I'm typing this response, I noticed that it doesn't have a "strict" in the beginning of the code, so I'll look into adding and re-testing to help trouble shoot
