I think you'll be a whole lot happier when you start writing 
print "User: $User\n";
print "  [$Error] happened $Data->{$User}{$Error} time(s)\n";

    I think about that all the time. *Smiles* When I started writing perl code, I made some mistakes with "" and '', so I started putting literals in '', special characters (like \t and \n) in "", and I pulled out all variables.

    It's just one of those habits which has stuck around in my code since.
