Hi. (I would) Appreciate (it) if you would use <code> tags. Otherwise your code might be interpreted as markup.

$bakjobs->{$2}{dbt} = $1;
$bakjobs->{$2}{cdt} = $3;

This is simply inserting into a hash of hashes based on the last matched regex. However, based on the regex provided, I suspect $3 will be undefined.

Aside from that this code has numerous things wrong (or at least questionable) with it:

• A prototype on a sub does nothing if you call it with &subname. You should probably be using neither of those.
• local is for dynamic scoping, not local variables. Use my instead.
• While you're at it, stop using global variables for filehandles (open( my $file, './HD/PQ/c.bak' ) or die;)
• In (\w+)+, the second plus does nothing (nothing useful at least).
