Hello Gunjan
This is a well-known (well, I thought so :-) problem due to how Net::Jabber
has changed over the course of releases (for the better, of course).
The significant release change was, as Piers has already correctly pointed
out (thanks dude :-), from 1.0020 to 1.0021, where a new value is passed
first to all callbacks.
I wrote an article last year [1] which explains what's going on - please
let know if you have any questions about it.
Just now, to test, I downloaded the headline script from the article's
page [2], made the (one-word) change as described in the article, and it
solved the problem.
Cheers
