Well, $itemcount is a hash reference used to see if a client has that item, which is not useful in EVENT_ITEM where you're checking for hand in, rather than just checking if a client has an item or not, meaning you should use plugin::check_handin, not $itemcount. You can use $itemcount in other subroutines like this:

sub EVENT_SAY {
    if ($text=~/Hail/i && $itemcount{59943} >= 1) {
        plugin::Whisper("You have the skull!");
    } elsif ($text=~/Hail/i && $itemcount{59943} == 0) {
        plugin::Whisper("You don't have the skull!");
    }
}
