G'day RedTussock,
Welcome to the monastery.
I'm reasonably certain that your problem is in map qq/"$_"/, @fields[ 0 .. 5 ] and is probably caused by @fields not containing 6 elements. Here's some troubleshooting hints.
Check the files you're reading (i.e. ls -l /home/Smitty/scripts/perl/dl_parser/down/*). Are all of these the files you want? Perhaps use *.txt (or similar) to limit the files you're processing.
Do all of the files have the format you're expecting? You may be able to check this by inspection. If not, add some debugging code around while (<>) { like this:
my $last_file = ''; while (<>) { print "$ARGV\n" if $ARGV ne $last_file; $last_file = $ARGV;
[perlop - I/O Operators explains <> and $ARGV]
You should see something like:
some_file_name another_file_name Use of uninitialized value in ... different_file_name Use of uninitialized value in ...
You'll now know which files are causing the problems and you can focus your investigation accordingly.
