Hi, all --

I'm having some trouble using this wonderful-looking module to tackle
catching bounced mail and doing something with it.  I've followed the
man page to a tee but get errors.

Figuring that y'all can find the man page or don't need it, here is my
basic script (with strict and warnings turned on above):

  ...
  my $bounce = eval { Mail::DeliveryStatus::BounceParser->new ( \*STDIN ) } ;$
  if ( $@ )
    { print "Whoa -- one we actually couldn't handle!\n" ; exit 255 ; }
  my       @addresses = $bounce->addresses;       # email address strings ###
  my         @reports = $bounce->reports;         # Mail::Header objects ###
  my $orig_message_id = $bounce->orig_message_id; # "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" string       
###
  my $orig_message    = $bounce->orig_message;    # Mail::Internet object ###

  print "WE HAVE orig_message_id AS .$orig_message_id.\n";        ###
  print "WE HAVE orig_message AS .$orig_message.\n";      ###

This works well enough except that $orig_message seems to be empty; well,
I had an orig message in there but I'm not too worried about that at the
moment.  The real problem is when I go on to say:

  print "arrival-date: " ; print $report->get('arrival-date'); print "\n" ;

and it pukes with

  Global symbol "$report" requires explicit package name at ./catch-bounced-mail.pl 
line 32.

What do I need to do to get to each of these reports?


TIA & HAND

:-D
