    $_ =~ m/^(.*) UTC.*refs = (\d+)$/;
    my $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime($1);
    my $timestamp = $dt ->epoch();
    my $refs = $2;
    if ( defined($lookup{$refs}) && ....

to: 
   my ($dt, $timestamp, $refs);
   if ( m/^(.*) UTC.*refs = (\d+)$/ ){
      # right here, just after the match, is the only
      # place it's safe to use $1 and $2 - tuck them away:
      my $t = $1;
      $refs = $2;
      $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime($t);
      $timestamp = $dt ->epoch();
   }
   else {
      warn "No match: $_  \n";
      next;
   } 
   if ( defined($lookup{$refs}) && ....
