accessing message variables in a custom funciton

[Leonardo Helman]

Do you have this part?:

sub MyFunctionExample {
    my($message) = @_;
}

$message is not predefined in perl, and it's not global

Or this (if you are setting a custom scanner)
  my($ip, $from, $to, $message) = @_;


Look for the examples in CustomFunctions dir

And do read "learning perl" it's a very good book
