This may sound like a stupid question, so the issue is that the files aren't be generated at all? Or are the files actually be generated, but something is wrong with your apache configuration so that you can't access the webpage?
That's the first thing that pops into my head. I haven't looked at the script too closely though. I'd step through it step by step and see what files are getting created/destroyed.
Also, use
$!/usr/bin/perl -w
