I'm confused!

Your code and your error-msgs don't seem to match.

Where is the pattern match (m//) line 103 ?

You are identifying :

if ($oldString eq "Automated") { # Line 103, the one that gives all the trouble.

which doesn't have a regex but an eq!

Furthermore this can't be line 103, if your output just 4 lines before logs DEBUG main:::84:.

Could it be that you are chasing at the wrong place?

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).
