Welcome to the Monastery, ljamison...

I've only reviewed your code by eye quickly, but I'd suggest putting a print statement within the else() after your if (! $handle) and see if it is ever triggered.

In the code you supplied, that's the only place $stat_rsnr_seq ever gets incremented, so you want to ensure you hit that code.

I'm not familiar with our, so another Monk will have to say whether that's part of the problem (I've only ever needed my()).
