Hi Meryll,

Thanks so much for finding this.  I do indeed have a "while, do and 
foreach" so I guess I hit this bug.  I've found it in the Perl 
bugtracker and it is fixed.  I guess the fix hasn't made it into Debian yet.

The script runs fine and I used Data::Dumper extensively to check values 
and when debugging and everything is as it is supposed to be.

Thanks again.
