First, I don't seem to have mastered dumpValue. My call to it looks like this:
@departments= keys %all; sort @departments; dumpValue([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
@departments is not empty, but nothing is printed from dumpValue
Did you mean to use Dumpvalue vice the older Data::Dumper? What exactly were you looking for?

I'm accessing the file with a full pathname:[..]
$WDir= "Volumes/Lore/AHSmaildirectory/"; $InputFile="TestData2.txt"; open(NAMEFILE,"<" . $WDir . $InputFile) || die "Can't open input file";
actually you need to start a Fully Qualified pathname from "/" hence your $WDir would need to be
$WDir= "/Volumes/Lore/AHSmaildirectory/";
to start with the top "/" in the path.
are you using 'use strict' and 'use warnings'???
