Due to my own bad coding, I have discovered another

Gotcha

(or maybe a 'got-me'?) that jumped up and bit me.

Of course, if I had had warnings on... it would have been simpler to see what was going on, ... but then on the other hand, I would not have seen this fun stuff: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
#use warnings;

for my $i (1 .. 20) {
    isodd($i);
    print "$i\n";
}

sub isodd {
    my $i = shift;
    next if int($i/2)*2 == $i;
    return;
}

Perl is so cool, but so dangerous without warnings!

Needless to say, after some refactoring, my 'next' was in a different module than my loop, and I couldn't figure out why bits of code were not being executed as expected.
