MORE IMPORTANTLY, perl will not access a database outside of the same directory as the script -- it pulls a blank hash. without being able to include any functional path in the filenames, i can't even call the script with a soft link...i have to use a shell script to cd first
that is ridiculous and i presume a bug that may have been fixed somewhere?

Put these two lines at the top of your program:
use warnings;
use strict;
And perl will tell you that you are concatenating two barewords.
email.db is tranlated by perl as 'email' . 'db' and there is no "dot" in the concatenation of those two strings.
