Couldn't you just: while ($line = <FILEH>) {
or is there something I'm missing?

This would typically be considered bad form, I think. Die is used to stop your program
when it hits a fatal error of some sort; i.e.
open(blah, "blah.txt") || die("Aargh! No blah!")
Instead, I would write that loop as:
if ($toBf =~ /^\n$/) {
print "\nBye, bye!\n";
last MAINLOOP;
}
But for that to work, you have to put a label on your main loop. I.e.:
MAINLOOP: while ($tom = "yay") {
Now, if your main loop is actually in a subroutine, use "return," just like in C.

You could use:
my ($href, $key) = @_;
The rest looks good to me. :)
