I suggest you run the output of your script through "od -tx1" or
similar, and then look for characters that shouldn't be there.

Alternatively: replace the script temporarily with some other
script returning a constant number and see if that makes the
problem disappear.  If not, you need not wast time on debugging
that script, but if the problem is magically solved, you know
you have to remove the problem from your perl script.
