It's hard to sort this out without seeing all the code but at a guess I would first look at where you have this in the first script

hidden( -name => "item_id", -override => 1,
-default => escapeHTML( $ref->{item_id} )),
[download]

and this is the secomd

hidden( -name => "item_id", -override => 1,
-default => escapeHTML( $item_id )),
[download]

and in particular, check the scope of $item_id

Hi, You can view my scratchpad for the whole code. Thanks.
