Because you want to execute a script perl instead of writing a simple
text, I think, the problem on the accounting is that their are errors on
the 'as' and 'ae' printcap lines. The pipe '|' is missing for each line.
Try these 'as' and 'ae' lines :

       :as=|/usr/local/libexec/accounting.pl start:\
       :ae=|/usr/local/libexec/accounting.pl end
