Looks like messages that get generated when perl is executed with the -w
option.  Using -w is not friendly with MHonArc, but execution should
not be hindered because of it.  I've tried to do some cleanup over
the years.  Since I did some data structure reworking for v2.5,
I may be able to eliminate some more warning messages.

The above messages are easy to address, and I will do it for v2.5.  The
'-' in the regexes should be escaped.  There are regexes I wrote years
ago when I was not a careful about the use of '-' in character
classes.  Perl still does the "right thing."

This we have to ask Earl to have a look at. 

What version of MHonArc are you using? On what platform and what version
of Perl do you have?

This one I am not sure. Perhaps you were using an older copy of mhn2mbox?
