Help with this script please?

[Trackye]

To start :P the script works fine in terms of it accomplishes what it is supposed to.

The problem is that the script completely ignores the level check for the player.

I would like it to be so that the script will not work and hand back the items if the player is NOT exactly level 65.

Checking the script with a command line prompt using perl it goes through without problem.
I just came back to scripting for eqemu and am sure I am missing something simple so would anyone please allow me to feel very stupid and point out what im missing lol

sub EVENT_SAY{

my $saylink1 = quest::saylink("Experienced");

if ($text =~/Hail/i){
$client->Message(315, "Greetings $class, I have been waiting for someone [$saylink1] such as yourself");
 }
	  if ($text=~ /Experienced/i) {
    $client->Message(315, "To prove your experience I require a Tooth from Trakanon in Sebelis, a Robe of the Kedge from Phingegl Autropos in Kedge Keep and an Incarnadine Helm from Overking Bathezid in Chardok");
  }
 }
 
 sub EVENT_ITEM
  {
	if($ulevel = 65)
	{
    if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 7276 => 1, 1253 => 1, 4132 => 1))
	{
	$client->Message(315, "Shado Feralis will be quite impressed with your progress you should speak to him.");
	quest::level(66);
	}
	else {
    $client->Message(315, "I have no need for this item $name, you can have it back.");

    plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
  }
 }
 }
