Any time your trying to write some perl stuff for minivend/interchange try
seeing if it will work in a proper perl program first.

so If i was writing the above I would have tested it with somethng like this...

------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my %Scratch ;

$Scratch->{var1}=  2;
$Scratch->{var2}=  3;

print test();

sub test{

	$_= $Scratch->{var1} * $Scratch->{var2};
	return $_;

}

----------------------------

Save it in a file say test.pl and run it with "perl -c test.pl && perl test.pl"
and look at the debug info.
Once your sub routine is working at is a good bet that the algorithm will work
in minivend.
