You will likely help yourself out a lot with not only this problem but
others that you don't yet know about if you:
1. Split those 100 lines out into a separate subroutine.
2. Break that 100 line subroutine into at least four or five smaller
subroutines.

That may well be, but the semi-colon is an error, and the only one we
can see in the code you have posted.
$ perl -ce 'find ( sub {}, $tdir; )'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "$tdir;"
-e had compilation errors
$ perl -ce 'find ( sub {}, $tdir )'
-e syntax OK
