This is irrelevant now that the question is answered, but I can reproduce the "can't find getline..." error mentioned above that resulted from my first script.
The simple solution is to put "use IO::File;" at the top of the script. Apparently the behavior of Perl's I/O has changed (I'm using 5.22). Also, there are often OS-specific differences with scripting languages because the "perl" (or whatever) that the vendor distributes is not the same as what you compile yourself. So, it's possible there could be other tweaks required based on the system/versions, but it would be kind of a waste to go down that path since the problem is solved. Okay, now it's time to move on back to work...
