Can I just say that you code just screams for a rewrite? 

my $cfg = {};
open my $INFILE,"<","testfile.txt" or die "Could not open file:$!";
$cfg->{infile} = $INFILE;
my $infh = $cfg->{infile};

while(<$infh>){
    print "$_\n";
}

Sorry, but if i ever worked on your code before i did anything else i would make conversions like that $$hash{key} is an evil meme that is confusing (it doesnt scale up) easy to misunderstand (what the hell is $$hash {key}, a dereferenced ref followed by a block containing a sub call, a syntax error or a hashref dereference and lookup?) $hash->{key} is hard to mistake for anything but what it is.
