In trying to understand your problem, I first downloaded the code you provided and ran it through perltidy to neaten up the indentation, so as to make it easier to follow your logic.

It is also helpful to me to execute the code in order to duplicate your problematic output (which you did not provide). However, I gave up after the 1st three compile and runtime errors. It is great that you are using the strictures, but you either are ignoring them, or the code you posted is not the same as what you are running.

Please post new code which compiles cleanly. If you get some error messages you do not understand, please post those as well. These simple steps will make it much easier for others to help you.
