There is a vast gulf between your proof of concept bash script and the OP's code! I see your bash script, for example, calling:

rm GeoIPCountryCSV.zip
I do not see your Perl script calling:
system ("rm GeoIPCountryCSV.zip");

Look at the OP's code again. Have you ever seen anything like it? I haven't, which is why I asked for the backstory behind it. Sadly, it looks like we'll never know because the OP seems to have vanished (presumably forever) from the Perl Monks universe. This is a tragedy because learning the backstory would make the description of the why behind this code much more interesting when it's deservedly viewed by a wider audience.

BTW, given your interest in using a proof of concept, you might be interested in a three-part series I wrote a few years ago: Building the Right Thing (Part I): Pretotyping
