Does anyone have any idea why or die would be affecting my script even if it isn't called?
"or die" cannot affect your script if its not being executed.

Why do you have 

open( STDERR, ">>/home/sulfericacid/public_html/test/error.log" )
  or die "Cannot open error log, weird...an error opening an error log
+: $!";

at the top? Also, why do you sprinkle use lines sporadically around your program? (group them together so they're easy to find).

I see you have written 

open( SAVED, ">>$localfile" );    # || die $!;

That is never good. If you're going to do stuff like that, do it like 
if( open SAVED, ">>$localfile" ) {
   print SAVED $crack;
}

Also, why don't you use CGI::Carp; like it's been suggested often to you.

update: I also forgot to ask you (like I did in the CB a few days ago) why do you use warnings and the -w switch? The only reason I could think of is if you don't know the difference, in which case, you should learn the difference.

And oh yea, why aren't you use-ing strict? I can't see why people would continue to help you after you continually ignore the same vital advice time and time again (madness).

update: another question, why print "<br>" if you use CGI ':standard';?

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
