BTW...ErrorOut is a simple subroutine I use to write error contents to a log file and delete a program lockfile if it exists. 
sub ErrorOut 
{
    ##################################################################
+########################
    #
    #  This subroutine write all STDERR to the log file and deletes th
+e Lock File.
    #
    ##################################################################
+########################
    my $error = shift;
    print "$error\n";
    #
    # Delete the Lock File
    #
    if (-e $lock_file) {    
        if (unlink($lock_file) == 1) {
            print "Lock File $lock_file deleted successfully.\n\n";
        } else {
            print "Lock File $lock_file could not be deleted.\nEnsure 
+the UID running this program has proper permissions\n";
#        exit 1;
        }
    }
#    exit 1;
} # End sub ErrorOut
