This is most embarassing. Lots of apologies for your troubles. The version
on the website had some careless bugs:
1. MBOXFILE was not opened for output
2. A number of variables were not declared properly
3. A number of print statements needed cleanup.
I have just corrected these bugs and ran a test against the files in
http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/default
The output is at
http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/08292001/
where mailbox.out is the output from the mhn2mbox script.
The new code is now version 0.36 and is available at
http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/mhn2mbox-0.36
Sorry any inconvenience.

I tried to run mhn2mbox, but I have received such messages:

What does it mean: ?
I do not know how mhn2mbox is implemented, but the messages
imply that perl is running in strict mode. If there is
something like the following line in the program:
use strict;
You can remove it and retry running the program to see if
you get the output you desire. Or, patch the code to
explicitly have @array declared with 'my' or with a 'use vars'
pragma. If you do not know Perl, try the former.
