G'day NewbieX,

Welcome to the monastery.

"Herre is the script as it stands now. It is pulling the locations and dates from the database on load, ..."

The code you posted will not compile and, therefore, will not execute. Please post the real code that's "pulling the locations and dates from the database ...".

I see you've used our in 8 places; my is probably more appropriate. [Note: that's just a guess as I haven't seen your real code.]

Logical indentation of your code will improve readability. perltidy can help you with this.
