Notice there's nothing before the ":"? Are you saying the next didn't help? Try printing

{ use Data::Dumper qw( ); local $Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1; local $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1; local $Data::Dumper::Indent = 0; print(Data::Dumper::Dumper($line), "\n"); }

(And use code tags around output, please)
