I'm a C++/Java developer so Perl is all new to me (laziness on my part I guess since it seems so popular with folks around here :). I have taken the advise of many in here and have solved my problem (thanks everyone).

It wll provide help in the form of syntax errors when you have not clearly defined the values you have in your variables. This should be your first line of defense against errors.
