the correct code is yes w/out $$name rather using $name i always use strict and warnings. its there in the code at the top. 

sub _ce {

print "IN CE SUB\n";

    die "no parameter!\n" unless @_;
    my ($ce_ref) = @_;

    for my $name (@{ $ce_ref }) {
        @asof = +(split("/", $name, 0))[-3,-2,-4];
        $lpname = +(split("/", $name, 0))[3];
        print $csv "$lpname\n";
        print $csv '*' x length($lpname),"\n";
        print '*' x length($lpname),"\n";
        print "$name\n";
        open (my $i, "+<", $name) or warn $!;  ### FAILS HERE ###
        while (<$i>) {
            chomp $i;
            next if $i =~ /$regexp_2_skip/;
            next if $i !~ /$regexp_2_get/;
            ($i) =~ s/:/,/g;
            ($i) =~ s/\s+//g;
            print $csv "$i,\n";
            print "$i,\n";
        }
    }
    print $csv "\n\nHost,Entitled CPU and RAM as of @asof,\n\n";
return;
}
