This is a thing I noticed just recently. The thing is: this error message makes no sense and you can safely ignore it. Why it happens, I have no idea because [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -MMIME::Tools=5 -e1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ so it's all fine. Blame it on MIME::Tools...or ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but not me. :-) As for using this old version of MboxParser: the additional obligatory requirements were MIME::QuotedPrint. Clearly, when you were able to install MIME::Tools, you can install MIME::QuotedPrint, too. The current version is 0.39 (released yesterday actually; might not yet have propagated onto every CPAN mirror). It uses a new optional parser (Mail::Mbox::MessageParser which has been released by David Coppit shortly ago) which is _very_ fast. But even if you use 0.38 (which is definitely less experimental), it should be significantly more performant than 0.17. Also, 0.38 has shown to be relatively bug-free. Some small changes to your existing scripts might be necessary though, since the interface changed in a few spots.
