Interesting Error - Can't use string ("1909") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use

[Drew Marshall]

Hi all

Just bumped into this one:

MailScanner --debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
Have a batch of 10 messages.
max message size is '250000 trackback'
Can't use string ("1909") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use  
at /usr/share/MailScanner//MailScanner/PFDiskStore.pm line 509.

This is my first stray back to Linux (Usually play in FreeBSD world )  
for a while but this is mt MailScanner -v

Don't think there is any thing else special about this box, it's just  
a bog standard Ubuntu 8.10 server install, with as much as possible  
installed via apt and running the latest stable release. I've not got  
to the clever stuff yet ;-)

Not being a perl gruru and certainly not with Jules' fine work, I am  
now at the "help" stage :-)
