After spending most of the day poking at this, I finally figured out 
that the keys for 2 of the 3700+ entries had picked up leading html 
angle brackets somewhere along the line and the file was not 
perfectly sorted as a result. The entries with problems had nothing 
to do with the ones that I was searching for and missing. After 
fixing these two and resorting the file in BBEdit, the script works 
fine on Solaris, but I remain mystified that the same minor data 
munging was ignored by MacPerl, yet tripped up unix Perl.
