Perlbeginner1:

My thoughts:

• You gave us the code, but no error messages. It's frequently possible to diagnose problems from the error messages and code. I don't particularly feel like installing all the modules I would need to execute your script and see them myself, so there's not a lot I can do for you. Seeing as your post has been here for five or so hours with no responses, I'm not the only one who doesn't feel particularly motivated to dig into it.
• That's a large chunk of code. Generally, you should cut out everything you don't need to give us less code to dig through to find the problem. That practice has two great side effects:
• Shorter examples are easier for us to diagnose, so you'll probably get better responses,
• Better yet: You'll often find out when you're in the process of chopping out unnecessary code, you'll find and fix the error yourself!

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
