Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid it didn't work. 

I tried adding 'local $_;' where you suggested, and also at lines 1127
and 1128 (inside the do loop and inside the while loop).

This is the sub in questions:

# Makes a hash of the specified configuration file.
sub parse_config_file {
	my %cfg;
	my ($file) = @_;

	open(CFG, $file) && do {
		while (<CFG>) {
			chomp;
			next if (/^#/ || /^\s*$/);

			if (/^(user|passwd|server|query|orderby)\s+(.*)\s?$/) {
				$cfg{$1} = $2; 
			}
			else {
				die "rt: $file:$.: unknown configuration directive.\n";
			}
		}
	};

	return %cfg;
}
