The muttprint I have been using for many years is about 10 years old and no
longer works after I upgraded perl to version 5.26.0. Is there a more recent
version that might work with recent perl or is there an alternative written
maybe in python?

Cheers, Brian.

Currently, on Debian, my muttprint seems to work with Perl
5.26.1. Can you tell me what the problem you are facing might be?

Thanks.

Debian's version is heavily patched. OP may want to try the most recent
Debian version after applying all patches (there are a dozen or so in
debian/patches).

I think the Debian and Ubuntu packages are identical (I found out that
the OP uses Ubuntu). And the patched version does seem to use $*,
though I don't know if that is the main cause.
