(etc.)

Yes. The script contains several lines like this one:

> my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) =
>&read_bid($bids[0]); # read first bid

and 

> my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) =
>&read_bid($bids[$#bids]); # read last bid

All of these are in the main body of the script. Therefore, their scopes
overlap.

Either put these and the following lines in their own block, like this:

   {
       my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) =
         &read_bid($bids[$#bids]); # read last bid
     ... # everything that references these variables
   }

Or drop the "my" for every line where you get such a warning.
