First off... "It's not what you know that kills you, it's what you think you know." Obviously you are doing something wrong if you're not getting the results you want, but how do I know that what is wrong isn't in new_item or new_menu, both of which you use and neither of which you have shown me? Furthermore, I am dismayed by your lack of the "strict" pragma, as you may very well have misnamed a variable in a routine you haven't shown me. Lastly, I am quite bewildered by your usage of ${$item}. Did you actually mean to use a soft reference, and if you did, then why? I very seriously doubt this is doing what you think it is doing, and may very well be the root cause of your troubles.
