The 13 is the counter for the $inittime array (which actually have 13

Then you have an off-by-one error. You are saying

for($j=0;$j<=13,$j++) {

This will loop 14 times, not 13 times. This is why C-style for loops
are bad. Don't use them. If you want to loop over an array use the
iterating version of for:

for my $element (@array) {}

If you want to loop over a range you still should use the iterating
version of for:

for my $j (1 .. 13) {}
It would probably be better to use:

for my $j ( 0 .. $#array ) {}
snip

No, that is almost always better written as

for my $element (@array) {}

That is a completely different loop. And I think John's point was that
it would be better to use $#array than to hard-code 13.
