You have some compilation error in your program. I have a hunch it's utf8-related, but other than that I can only speculate. I recommend the following: * 7500 lines is too long for almost any program to be effectively debuggable or even understandable. Where possible, extract blocks of code into subroutines, then place those subroutines into modules whose compilation you can test independently of each other. * Seek help by posting on a mailing list more geared than this one is toward debugging particular programs. perlmonks.org is one possibility.
