Assume you are running a recent version of MH and it is installed 
correctly (ex: try starting MH without any of your code and make sure it 
works) then anytime I see errors in well tested MH modules clike 
Generic_Item.pm it invariably means my code is broken but the error 
doesn't show up until somewhere else entirely unrelated in the code.

Start by looking for mis-matched brackets/braces etc.  Those a easy to 
cause and sometimes difficult to find.

If you can't find that then make a backup of your code file(s) and start 
removing them and restarting MH until you find the offending file.  Then 
start removing sections from that file until it works.  Once you know 
the offending section either go through it with a fine tooth comb or 
delete it and re-write it from scratch -- reloading the code regularly 
-- until you get it going.

It would be nice if MH wasn't so fragile that way but because of mashing 
up all the code it is a tricky problem to solve.

Good luck!
