[Mimedefang] Embedded Perl multiplexor on Debian - sarge Error

[Kayne Kruse]

I just noticed this error, and was curious as to what in the filter is
the FD.

Jul 19 17:03:02 mailfilter mimedefang-multiplexor[4711]: WARNING:
Something in your Perl filter appears to have opened a file descriptor
outside of any function.  With embedded Perl, you should move any code
that opens a file descriptor into filter_initialize.  On some systems,
the C library may open a descriptor, but you should verify your filter
just in case.

I dont have anything other than the standard windows suggested filter as
a base with only some filter_relay code exempting 127.0.0.1 from
filtering and filter_end spam check is doing action_discard for anything
over $req.

Im only guessing that this might be the cause:

Now You see I think its Mimedefangs own open File::Scan causing this
warning.  Whats the fix for the annoyance?

Thanks,
