Thank you all for your outpouring of support!! I'll post the full code when I finish up with work late this afternoon, as well as implement the suggestions I received.
We are a little closer to solving this, and my novice impression (disclaimer: I've been using perl less than a month) is that this might be a bug. The phenomenon I posted occurred repeatedly last night using Strawberry Perl 5.10.1.1 in Win 7 Ultimate (x64). This morning I booted into Ubuntu 9.10 (x64) where I'm running the latest perl package on the Synaptic Package Manager (5.10.0-247ubuntu4) and ran the script - it performed *exactly* as I expected it would. No extra whitespace anywhere. Hopefully that information is helpful to someone out there; I'd like to be able to run this in Windows and Linux distros and get the same results (or understand why I can't get the same results). I'll post the full code later this afternoon.
