Hi there ! I am trying to write a simple program to add some messages to an MBOX. Here is my code: 
use strict; use English; use warnings;

use Mail::Box::Mbox;

my $foldername = 'test.mbox';
my $folder = Mail::Box::Mbox->create($foldername, access => 'rw');

my $msg;
my $n =4;

while ($n--) {
    
my $msg = Mail::Box::Message->build(From => 'me', data => "Message $n 
+\n only two\nlines\n---\n");
        $msg->print;
$folder->addMessage( $msg );
}

Here is the error I get: 
Can't use string ("Mail::Box::Mbox") as a HASH ref while "strict refs"
+ in use at I:/Perl/site/lib/Mail/Box.pm line 816.

Thanks !
