I hope to someday be as wise as you two, the depth of understanding you have is quite amazing.

After the string $nossl was passed into the subroutine I changed some things.
my $nossl = shift;
my $newsite = $nossl;

    Since you never use $nossl within your routine, this is equivalent to 
    my $newsite = shift;

    There is no significance in using the same name inside and outside the routine. This just says that you want to set $newsite using the first parameter passed to the subroutine.
