Those tests just tell you whether mimedefang-filter is valid Perl
syntax;  it says NOTHING about whether it will execute correctly.

So check you filter.  Make sure it's coded to do what you expect;  add
in md_syslog() calls to see what values are what at which stages of
execution.  That should narrow down which chunk of code is failing.

Something in your code is valid Perl syntax, but it's not executing
correctly and is therefore causing problems for MD.
