Hi NateTut,

When you present a full program like this, you're not making easy for us to help you.  I took a shot at running your program, and immediately found that it requires a lot of setup first, including passed arguements (who knows what they're supposed to be?), one or more configuration files (are we supposed to guess what the contents are?) and I don't know what else, because it gets too frustrating too quickly.

Instead of doing this, why don't you just supply the subroutine Dump_vconfig and a single call to that subroutine, with the appropriate parameter that's failing.  You said that "Data::Dumper spits it back nicely", but then you don't show us what Data::Dumper gives you.  If you supply us with that, it'll be a LOT easier and faster to help you out.

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
