in reply to uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) in perl

It would seem this has to be $max_nb, since $total is initialized to 0. Ie, Octopussy::Parameter('wizard_max_msgs') is returning undef.

You could check that by throwing in something: 

my $max_nb = Octopussy::Parameter('wizard_max_msgs');
die "$max_nb undefined!" unless (defined $max_nb);

    While I agree with halfcountplus, I would note that you could perform a simple or else set $max_nb to zero as follows 
    my $max_nb = (Octopussy::Parameter('wizard_max_msgs'))||0;

    That said, the Octopussy::Parameter('wizard_max_msgs') should probably return zero if no such parameter.
