Hello All,

Not too long ago I switched to the new 'build.sh' method. Before I did this, rmLinkMail.pl worked fine from anywhere on my system, as I have a <homedir>/fido/bin directory where everything else (BINDIR in huskymak.cfg) resides, added to PATH.

After using the new build.sh method, rmLinkMail.pl gives this error:

$ rmLinkMail.pl
Global symbol "$huskyBinDir" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $huskyBinDir"?) at /home/axisd/fido/bin/rmLinkMail.pl line 58.
Execution of /home/axisd/fido/bin/rmLinkMail.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I've never had to declare anything before this switch. <homedir>/fido/bin is still being used and still in my PATH, and everything works from there (hpt, htick, tparser, etc.). huskymak.cfg is still in the correct place with all the proper directories specified. Everything else has been working nicely since switching the method.

Is there something I've missed? Or has something changed with husky that is causing this script to fail?

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Nick

Now it seems to pass up that error, and say:

$ rmLinkMail.pl --config /home/axisd/fido/etc/config --address 723:1/2
Please supply the path to fidoconfig

Unless I'm specifying the options wrong? But when I change the path of the fidoconfig to anywhere it doesn't reside, it displays the help screen.

I took a look at what he changed, then did my own tinkering.
I have a feeling this was all that was needed:

my ($huskyBinDir);

All of the options were also added to that line, and none of them work unless they're removed from it. I don't know if that's the actual fix since, to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what I'm doing. But.. more options started working as I removed them. Process of elimination and all that. ;)
