Re: Mail::Audit and effective_t.al (autoloader--)

You mispelt a method name on "/home/blm/Mail/sortmail.pl line 50". Your mispelling starts with "effective_t". You've been fooled by a very poor error message from autoloader.

Or, perhaps you didn't strictly mispell it, but you've tried to use a method that doesn't exist for the type of object you tried to use it on (perhaps because it isn't implemented in the version of the module you have installed). (There is a tiny chance that you used the proper method name but your installation is broken such that there really is supposed to be an effective_t.al but it is missing; but the odds of that are quite small in comparison.)

Actually I think my spelling is fine. The line in question is: `print BLAH "Effective-Content-Type " . $mail->effective_type . "\n";` [download] It has been a while since I wrote this. The script runs fine for 98% of the mail I get just two messages a day that I get from the system about security of the box cause the error message that I quoted. So I looked into my I thought $mail->effective_type was valid. My impression of what the documentation say is that $mail is a subclass of Mime::Entity. It turns out that on further reading of the Mail::Audit docos I understand that it is only a subclass of Mime::Entity if appropriate. So basically something about these emails say that it is not appropriate to subclass Mime::Entity so the call to $mail->effective_type is not valid If you are wondering why I do `print BLAH "Effective-Content-Type " . $mail->effective_type . "\n";` [download] I am trying to work out how to suck all the attachments out of an email and save them in a directory separate from the message	[reply] [d/l] [select]
