Normally when I debug a quest script to see what went wrong, I will just put a say message for each part of the script leading up to what I think is the problem area. Then, I just watch to see how far the say messages get and work on the part right after it stops sending the say messages. In the case of player.pl, you can't use the say messages, but you can use quest::ze() to do zone emotes for debugging your player.pl. I would recommend adding in zone emotes for each of your elsifs around your problem areas and see if it gets to that point. If it isn't making it that far even, maybe you need to try placing a few other zone emotes until you can find it. This technique actually works really well for script troubleshooting, since the script will run all of the way up to the breaking point.
