[CSCMail-Users] Global symbol error on first startup attempt

[<as...@ph...>]

Hello,
  This is my first post to the list, so "re" everyone...

Here's the problem I'm having.  After an apparently successful compilation/installation of all required modules, and cscmail itself... I receive the following error trying to run the program:

Global symbol "$new_sib" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/bin/cscmail line 1821.
Global symbol "$new_sib" requires explicit package name at /usr/local/bin/cscmail line 1823.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/cscmail line 5741.


For the information on my box:

Slackware 8
Perl 5.6.1
DBD-CSV-0.1027
DBI-1.20
DateManip-5.40
HTML-Parser-3.25
IO-stringy-2.108
Lingua-Ispell-0.07
MIME-Types-0.06
MIME-tools-5.411
MailTools-1.40
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216
SQL-Statement-0.1020
Text-CSV_XS-0.23
cscmail-1.7.x (CVS)  (1.7.10 I believe)
gnome-perl (CVS)
gtkhtml (CVS)
gtk-1.2.10
mysql-3.23.41


Hope that info helps.  I am really looking forward to getting this client up and running... Sooooooo tired of StarOffice for a mail client.
