Muttprint

[Brian Salter-Duke]

Is there a recent version of muttprint? After an upgrade of Ubuntu to 17.10, I
get this error:-

$* is no longer supported. Its use will be fatal in Perl 5.30 at ./bin/muttprint line 1649.
String found where operator expected at ./bin/muttprint line 1693, near "if ($_[0] eq ""
Global symbol "$text" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $text"?) at ./bin/muttprint line 1650.

perl --version gives this:-

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) built for
x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

I am lost as I do not understand the error messages and my perl is a bit rusty.
It is also a long time since I contributed to this list, although I read it
every morning.

Any suggestions of what to do?

Regards, Brian.

Found this on my perl manual (perldoc perlvar):
$* was a variable that you could use to enable multiline matching.
After a deprecation cycle, its magic was removed in Perl v5.10.0.
Using it now triggers a warning: "$* is no longer supported". You
should use the "/s" and "/m" regexp modifiers instead.
Deprecated in Perl 5.
Removed in Perl v5.10.0.
