There's an awful lot in your script which doesn't need to be there. Here's a stripped down version with none of the unnecessary modules, no commented-out code, indented loops and no BEGIN blocks. Oh, and it has strict as should every script you ever write.

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Image::ExifTool 'ImageInfo';

print "#################################\n";

my $sort = "/tmp/";

chdir $sort or die "Cant chdir to $sort $!";
my @sort_list = glob "*.jpeg";

my $exifTool = Image::ExifTool->new;
my @tags = qw(DateTimeOriginal);

foreach my $file (@sort_list) {

    $exifTool->Options(Duplicates => 0, DateFormat => '%m-%d-%Y');
    my $info = $exifTool->ImageInfo($file, \@tags);

    foreach (@tags) {
        print "$file $_: $info->{$_}\t" if exists $info->{$_};
    }
    print  "\n";
}

This works fine for a collection of jpegs I've put in /tmp for testing (I have no use for .psd files). It produces no errors and no warnings and a nice list of original dates in day-in-the-middle format (your choice, not mine).
