    Both lines were added and there were no errors being reported but the "foo" didn't get printed into the log file. The last verbage that gets printed is in the below foreach loop. After this section of code it starts making an Excel spreadsheet. 
        upd_hash(\%ca, \@ca);
    upd_hash(\%nv, \@nv);
    print LOG "$time Completed Processing West XLS Data For $report\n"
+;
}

      Are you sure the code is being reached? Try sticking this just before the print:

         die("HERE I AM!");

      Now your code should die and you'll know that the line is being reached. Alternately you could pop into the debugger and obtain the same information.
