Just a supplement to the advice given by Anonymous Monk:
Data::Dumper provides a Useqq configuration variable which, when set, causes Dumper to print any newline, tab, or carriage return characters as \n, \t, and \r, respectively. This makes it easier to see exactly what is present in each variable. Here is how I would deploy this feature to begin the debugging process:
...
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Indent = 0;
$Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
...
foreach my $key (sort keys %ref) {
...
foreach(@temp) {
if ($temp[0] == 2) {
printf "\$key = %s\n \$ref{%s} = %s\n \$probes[%s] = %s\
+n",
Dumper($key),
Dumper($key), Dumper($ref{$key}),
Dumper($key), Dumper($probes[$key]);
print $key."\t".$ref{$key}."\t".$probes[$key];
}
}
}
Hope that helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
