The script seems to be dying silently *during* the call to the quote 
function. When I run the following code (the values of $query_type and 
$query_item here are lemma and persona, respectively, with no quotation 
marks)...

print STDOUT "\nBEFORE:\t$query_to_send_to_cqp;
my $query_to_send_to_cqp = "[$query_type = ".$cqp->quote($query_item)."]";
print STDOUT "\nAFTER:\t$query_to_send_to_cqp;

... I get a 0-byte output file (the file is opened earlier in the code, 
so that's why it exists), and the following in the terminal:

BEFORE:

The "BEFORE" value of $query_to_send_to_cqp is indeed and empty string, 
so that's okay. But the "AFTER" value should of course have the quoted 
string. And at the very least, I should see "AFTER:" with nothing after 
it on the terminal. But I don't.

That leads me to conclude that the problem is somewhere in the call to 
the quoting function.

Cheers,
Scott
