Upon encountering unexpected behavior, the best plan is almost always to
produce a minimal amount of real working code that reproduces the
behavior. Instead of a "generic breakdown", write some actual code that
we can run and examine and instrument. Make sure to produce a well-
defined success and failure result such as printing "SUCCESS" and
"FAILURE". That way the rest of us (and you!) can test the issue
reliably.
I've found that writing such a test case usually directly exposes an
error in your own code. If not it at least pinpoints any actual bug in
a module or perl itself.
That being said, and even though this is probably unrelated to your
problem, I do this more often than I'd like to admit:
%hash = { a => 1, b => 2 };
(should be parens, not braces)
