Re: [misterhouse-users] MH Perl question

[Nick M. <gn...@op...>]

Hi Shane,

Actually it appears you were right from the start, it appears MH can't
handle the $object->new(); method. I don't use globals, so I never noticed
before (now I'm going to have to rewrite some of my code :-) ).

It seems to be at line 3114 (version 2.67) in the mh code, Bruce is using
one of those tricky regular expressions to split the definition up, based
around the new, so it doesn't work to well with the $object->new() method.
