Perhaps you'd care to give a little more detail? I seriously doubt that anyone will be able to read your mind (since Brain::Telepathy is still in the pre-alpha stages), intuit the exact problem, and figure out - from your incomplete code, no less - where to even begin looking.

(Hint: Reading "How to Ask Smart Questions" is a very, very good idea if you plan on posting questions in a public forum. Assuming that you actually want to get an answer, that is. :)
