I am done processing and I want to place the final output line also on the screen. Here is what I have:

    if ( $GlblInfo{audit} ) {

        close(STDOUT);
        close(STDERR);
        open(STDOUT , '>') || die "Unable to open STDOUT: $!";

You're not opening STDOUT to anything. And you closed STDERR so the die message can't go anywhere. In fact, it goes into an infinite loop.

No it doesn't, there is no loop there.

It goes into an infinite loop on my machine. I suggest you try it before you make such blanket statements.

I did and it doesn't on my machine. Perhaps your OS or C library is doing something stupid? It makes no sense for IO on an unopened filehandle to loop.
