Begging your indulgence fellow monks,

I did my own mail filter sorter perlscript using Mail::Audit. For the most part it seems to run fine but every so often I get an email about a returned message because my sortmail.pl script failed to run. The error message: 

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
|/home/blm/Mail/sortmail.pl
    (reason: 255)
    (expanded from: blm)

So it seems that I am missing the file effective_t.al

Now I know that I could email the author (still Simon Cozens?) but he is probably busy and I would like to work on the problem myself. I just haven't come across a file to do with perl that ends in .al. Is it something to do with AUTOLOADER? I tried rebuilding Mail::Audit from source and I get no effective_t.al. I tried searching the entire filesystem and google for evidence of this file with no luck.

I have googled with no luck but I am not perfect so the answer could be simple and findable in google. If so I am sorry for wasting time.
