I replaced the last print line of my code with a hard coded print
statement just printing out just 250,50 and received this error:

readline() on closed filehandle NF at /usr/bin/mrtg line 1311.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/mrtg line 1484.

When I pass this code through od -c I get:
0000000   2   5   0  \n   5   0  \n
0000007

When I pass my original code through od -c I get:
0000000   2   0   0  \n   0  \n   0  \n   C   o   p   y   Q   u   e   u
0000020   e   L   e   n   g   t   h  \n
0000030

I'm not sure how to interpret this as I'm brand new to perl.

Thanks!

I suggest you run the output of your script through "od -tx1" or
similar, and then look for characters that shouldn't be there.

Alternatively: replace the script temporarily with some other
script returning a constant number and see if that makes the
problem disappear.  If not, you need not wast time on debugging
that script, but if the problem is magically solved, you know
you have to remove the problem from your perl script.
