It's not that weird an error. Perl is telling you exactly what's wrong,
exactly where it's wrong.

The "<< HERE" is telling you where in the regex the problem is. The
problem is that '*' is a regex metacharacter. Just because your regex is
in single quotes (not a smart idea, because it's misleading) doesn't mean
that it's NOT a regex.
$bad_spam++ if $msg[$line] =~ /^X-Spam-Level: \*{11}/;
