I've got a small issue on my hands. I have been attempting to put together a small log-parsing module for the popular on-line game Counter-Strike. Its working well, except for one part. In the hash %TYPES, I have the values being anon. arrays. The second element could contain a sub reference or a list of sub references. When the log is parsed, the program completely does not recognize any elements pass the first with the "killed" key.

So, the code below should bark back out that it doesn't know what to do with "11". It doesn't. Adding the second array value to any other line in %TYPES creates the error. Killed is the only place it does not work. This has really been bugging me and I've spent a good few hours trying to figure out why. 

my %TYPES = (
  killed          => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+>" killed "\[.+?\] (.+?)<\d+>" with
+ (.+)},"11"],
  chat            => [qr{\002(.+?) : {3,5}(.+?)\s*?$}],
  connected        => [qr{"(.+?)<(\d+)><WON:(\d+)>" connected, address
+ "(.+?):(\d+?)"}],
  disconnected      => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+>" disconnected$}],
  entered_game      => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+>" has entered the game$}],
  changed_name      => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+>" changed name to "(.+?)<\d+>"}]
+,
  killed          => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+>" killed "\[.+?\] (.+?)<\d+>" with
+ (.+)}],
  touched_hostage    => [qr{(.+?) touched a hostage$}],
  planted_bomb      => [qr{(.+?) planted the bomb$}],
  target_bombed      => [qr{\*\*\*\#Target_Bombed\*\*\*$}],
  rcon            => [qr{Rcon from "(.+?)":"\(rcon .+? (.+?) \)"$}],
  touched_hostage    => [qr{(.+?) touched a hostage$}],  
  rescued_hostage    => [qr{(.+?) has rescued a hostage$}],
  killed_hostage      => [qr{(.+?) killed a hostage$}],  
  joining_team      => [qr{(.+?) is joining the (.+?) force}],
  tk              => [qr{(.+?) killed a teammate$}],
  ct_win          =>  [qr{\*\*\*\#CTs_Win\*\*\*$}],
  t_win            =>  [qr{\*\*\*\#Terrorists_Win\*\*\*$}],
  target_saved      => [qr{\*\*\*\#Target_Saved\*\*\*$}],
  hostages_not_rescued  => [qr{\*\*\*\#Hostages_Not_Rescued\*\*\*$}],
  round_draw        => [qr{\*\*\*\#Round_Draw\*\*\*$}],
  killed_by_world    => [qr{"(.+?)<\d+?>" killed by world with (.+?)$}
+],
  map_cycle        => [qr{Spawning server "(.+?)"}],
  # scores..
);


sub parse {
  my $self;
  ($self,$_) = @_;
  chomp($_);

  if(s!L ((\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d\d\d) - (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)): !!){
    my ($month,$day,$year,$hour,$min,$sec) = ($2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8);
    $self->_set_time($1);
    if($self->{_use_epoch} == 1){
      my $tmp = $month;
      $tmp--;
      $self->_set_epochtime(timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$tmp,$year)
+);
    }
  }
  
  foreach my $key (keys %TYPES){
  
    if(/$TYPES{$key}[0]/){
      if(ref($self->{"_ref_$key"}) eq 'CODE'){
        $self->{"_ref_$key"}->($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)
      }
      elsif(ref($self->{"_ref_$key"}) eq 'ARRAY'){
        foreach my $sr (@{$self->{"_ref_$key"}}){$sr->($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)
+}
      }
      elsif(ref($self->{_ref_default}) eq 'CODE'){
        $self->{_ref_default}->($1,$2,$3)
      }
      else {
#        die "Big error";
      }
      
      if(defined $TYPES{$key}[1]){
        print "It is defined for $key\n";
        if(ref($TYPES{$key}[1]) eq 'ARRAY'){ # if second arg is array
          foreach my $sr (@{$TYPES{$key}[1]}){$sr->($self,$1,$2,$3,$4,
+$5)} # run each subref w/ args
        }                                              # be sure to pa
+ss it object ref first!
        elsif(ref($TYPES{$key}[1]) eq 'CODE'){ # if its just a single 
+ref
          $TYPES{$key}[1]->($self,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5); # run that. 
        }
        else {
          print "No idea what to do with $TYPES{$key}[1] ".ref($TYPES{
+$key}[1])." ??\n";
        }
      }
      
      last;

    }
  }

Any help as to why the second value of the array in the "killed" value of %TYPES is not recognized would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
