in reply to deleting item from database

I think that line 70, del $list{$username}; should be:     delete $list{$username}; I don't know why you don't get an error from del.

    That was definately the problem, Zaxo. I stepped away from perl for over a month and when I came back I was almost positive Perl made delete so the lazy people could use del instead. I use Primal Script for my editing and it didn't show any errors during a debug there are during a run through the web browser.

    Thank you for your help!

      I always put 
      use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

      in my CGIs, at least while I'm working on them. Makes debugging a whole lot easier.
