Hmmm... My remote psychic debugging facilities tells me that you failed 
to define something. Surely your psychic debugging capability will tell 
you exactly what you forgot to define! (Used without permission from 
David Korn).

Seriously now, think for a second.... How the hell are we to guess what 
is wrong? You haven't even posted any of your code!!!

What exactly have you done in an attempt to debug the situation? Do you 
use strict? Warnings? Have you tried running this in the Perl debugger? 
Put in any print statements if you are too afraid to use the debugger? I 
mean make an effort man!
