Take a look at perldoc Switch, it says 'Due to the heuristic nature of Switch.pm's source parsing, the presence of regexes specified with raw "?...?" delimiters may cause mysterious errors. The workaround is to use "m?...?" instead.', You have a few of these matches in your code, for example

elsif($new =~ /9/){$action = "Reject";if($debug){&writelog(3,"DEBUG: A
+ction=$action");}}

, I'd suggest you stick an "m" in front of that match and see whether that fixes the error.

In general, read the caveats at the end of the perldoc carefully, Switch suffers from problems inherent in source filters, I would not use it in production code (and the original author does not recommend doing so either).


Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
