[Ids-devel] ids bug?

[L3ECH <l3...@l3...>]

i'm running ids-0.82 on linux debian unstable.
i'm having a problem with ids' search feature. it doesn't work at all. the error message i get is:

Software error:
Can't use string ("1") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Find.pm line 1025.

i don't know if it's an ids bug, a perl bug, or both. i believe it's probably because i running perl 5.8.0 (which isn't said to be supported by ids), but i'm a lousy perl coder, and i don't really understand how all these stuff work, so basically, i'm asking if there's a quick solution for this problem.
i've "googled" on the subject, and i couldn't find anything except for forums with similar questions and no answers.
any input would be greatly appreciated.
