It doesn't appear that the code you posted exhibits the behavior your are describing. But it's an incomplete snippet. I encourage you to post well formatted code that is complete enough that we can run it, that exhibits the behavior you are describing, that passes strict and warnings, and that is under 30 lines in length. If that means you post an example that stands as a proxy for larger code, so be it. In boiling your lengthy code down to a small test case, you may spot the problem yourself. But even if you don't, you'll at least provide us with something that we can run to see what you're talking about.

And please, don't name variables $FOO1, $FOO2, $FOO3, $FOO4, etc. That's what actual arrays are for.
