here's what you'd see if you were to use the -cW switches to check for simple stuff like syntax errors in your scripts (this is what it spat out at me in notepad++). they're not always easy to find manually when you have a large amount of nested statements.

    if($text=~/hail/i){

    }
    if($text=~/news/i){               
        plugin::DiaWind("Wonderful , now give it to me!");
    }
    elsif($text=~/news/i) && $ulevel < 35) {               
        plugin::DiaWind("Begone {g}$class~ you waste my {r}time~!!!");

    if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1270 => 1) && $ulevel > 34) { # Note to Captain Vahl
