You appear to be passing undefined values to your trim routine. If you want to substitute an empty string for undefined values, test with defined. if (!$_) is true for 0 and undefined values and your code was substituting an empty string for either. I think you only wanted the substitution for undefined values.

59    for(@out) { 
60        #next if !($_);
61        if (!defined $_) { $_ = ""; }
62        s/^\s+//; 
63        s/\s+$//; 
64        s/\|//g; 
65        s/\n//g; 
66        s/\cM//g; 
67        s/\r//g; 
68    }
