[Mimedefang] MIME::Tools is buggy (slightly OT)

[Andrzej Marecki]

According to the MD README files one should get MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02
before installing MD. However, I get numerous messages like:

mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: Use of uninitialized value in 
concatenation (.) or string at [...]/MIME/Entity.pm line 1806.

... and occasionally like:

mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: Use of uninitialized value in 
numeric eq (==) at [...]/MIME/Parser.pm line 1011, [...]

MIME/Parser.pm and MIME/Entity.pm belong to MIME-tools. Who should I (we?)
blame for these bugs? The author of MIME-tools-5.411a (eryq) or the author
of MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02 (RP?) ?

The point is that MIME-tools-5.411a (patched or not) are pretty old so maybe
it's time for an upgrade. The latest (bleeding) edge version of MIME-Tools 
is MIME-tools-6.200_02.tar.gz, see http://www.zeegee.com/code/perl/MIME-tools.
Switch to this or not (yet)?

Andrzej
