As I've just determined by testing, perl (at least 5.10.1) will inline
a subroutine defined as
sub V() { 0; }
but it won't inline a subroutine defined as
sub V() { return 0; }

When there are so many things going wrong in a script, it's a sign that
you've bitten off more than you can chew. Remove everything in your
script that isn't working, and add *one* thing. Focus on it until it
works. Then add the second thing. Focus on it until it works, and
check to be sure you haven't broken the first thing.

You will confuse yourself less, and reveal problems sooner, if you
choose sensible variable names.
