in reply to Strange command line output after using Storable.pm

I don't have the module, but try doing something like: 
my $stored = freeze($hash);
$stored =~ s/\r/\\r/g;
$stored =~ s/\n/\\n/g;
$stored =~ s/\t/\\t/g;
$stored =~ s/\cH/\\b/g;
print "<$stored>\n";

That will show you if there are any bizarre characters in the string.

    I tried your suggestion but I still get "PuTTYPuTTY" on the command line.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot";
    $nysus = $PM . $MCF;
