QM! Thanks so much!

It'll take a while to digest all of your feedback, but there is one thing that leaps out:

I couldn't figure out how to pass a nested subroutine. This is adapted from the Perl Cookbook: (and one of the beginner-gotchas that got me): 

sub outloop { #NOOB  GOTCHA
    my $k = "string";
    sub inside { return $k."cheese" }
    return inside( );
}

So I thought I had to do this, without figuring out how to use references (or restructure the whole thing): 
sub outer { #APPARENTLY CORRECT
    my $k = "string";
    local *inside = sub { return $k."cheese" };
    return inside( );
}
