The other messages come from the if line in
sub create_table ($) {
my($table_name) = $_;
if (my $table_name eq /Doncaster_Deaths_1975_onwards_slim_D/){
it's a wierd onstruction: you declare a local variable (unitialised) and compare it to the result of matching $_ against Doncaster_etc.
You probably meant to compare the argument of create_table to the string "Doncaster...etc...". Please note that the construction /regex/ is a shorthand for m/regex/ that conares the value of $_ to the regular expression. Look at perldoc perlre for more information.
Try something like:
sub create_table ($) {
my($table_name) = $_;
if ($table_name eq "Doncaster_Deaths_1975_onwards_slim_D"){
and the last two messages should disappear.

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).
