I see a couple of problems that use warnings; use strict; would expose right away. First,

$player_info{$ipaddr} = [ qw($nickname $userid $player_req) ];
# and...
    $player_info{$1}
        = [ qw($value1 $value2) ];

[download]
should be
$player_info{$ipaddr} = [ $nickname, $userid, $player_req ];
# and...
    $player_info{$1}
        = [ $value1, $value2 ];

[download]
because qw() does not interpolate the value of variables.

Second,

    while ( (my $nkey, my @nvalue) = each %player_info ) {
        #stuff
    }

[download]
is incorrect, the second of the pair is a scalar arrayref:
    while ( (my $nkey, my $nvalue) = each %player_info ) {
        # stuff with $nvalue->[$ndx]
    }

Sorry, I didn't follow what you were doing in that block.
