After a quick glance, I'd move the use Data::Dumper; from the middle of the script to the top of it. That keeps all of your use statements together so it's easy to see exactly what you're using at a glance, and also if you ever lose the requirement of the Dumper statements, you may forget to remove the use statement (because it is buried) which will load the module unnecessarily.

One other thing is that I'd do a check to ensure the correct number of args are passed in. Change this:

my( $server1, $server2 )= @ARGV;

...to something like this:

die "Usage: script.pl server1 server2" if @ARGV != 2; my ($server1, $server2) = @ARGV;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
