There is one bug I've seen:

	# Now open the .pop-secrets file
	open my $popsecrets, "<$file";

	# Fail if the filehandle could not be created
	unless ($popsecrets){

Regardless of whether that file opens or not, $popsecrets will still be
set and that test isn't doing what you think. Try,

	# Now open the .pop-secrets file,
	# failing if the filehandle could not be created
	open my $popsecrets, "<$file" or do {
 
plus a trailing ; for the do block. TIMTOWTDI of course :-)

(
if ($pass=~ /^\s*$/){

is a bit redundant given the regexes beforehand, fwiw. unless ($pass)
would do it.
)

HTH a bit,
Paul
