    Oh, I just mean that there are a few globals which make me a bit uncomfortable and your error handling is (to my eyes) a bit bizarre. The more "Perlish" approach would be to return a false value for smaller errors and to just die on fatal stuff.

      Got you, but it's just because I didn't paste most of my code, just snipts.
