The main thing is that you don't appear to be reading your error.log
file(s).

If your log states "Safe: syntax error..." then you could try
terminating the appropriate lines of your Perl code with a ';'.

If your log states "Safe: rand trapped by operation mask..." then
you could try adding 'rand' to the SafeUntrap directive's list, in
your interchange.cfg file.

If there's another problem with that code (which I doubt) then its
cause is likely to have been reported in your error.log(s).
