in reply to Processes clobbering each other

... this seems to be working properly, as I get all my data just fine. But now I've added something new to each of the called perl programs, a sub-call to another program. The line in each program will look like:
$more = 'perl makemore.pl "$words" "$keywords"';
The program makemore.pl seems to work just fine as it is...

It's not clear whether you have the right quotes on this added feature. If those are supposed to be backticks around "perl makemore.pl ... ..." (i.e.  qx/perl makemore.pl "$words" "$keywords"/;), then it ought to be okay -- but it looks like you have plain-old single-quotes (apostrophes), which would not work...

    Yes, they are back-tics in that line.

    Sorry that the code tags didn't show that properly.
