Hah.. good point... i'd been ignoring those warnings, intending to fix them later.

The "line 699" referred to (over and over, i shoulda cut that out!) is actually in the Tie:File code, i think.

My guess is that the -w flag triggers those warnings when i read stuff using Tie::File in other parts of the script. They were there, and apparently not hurting anything, before.

The new error is the last bit about FH, but i don't know what it means.
