I don't use those patches, but a quick look suggests that the problem
you are having is related to this line in sub doit:
if ($query->param('config') =~ /^([^\.]+)(|\.htsearch)$/) {
I'm guessing it is looking for either a bare listname or
listname.htsearch. The first group which looks for a string of
characters that aren't in the set of '.' and '\' isn't a good choice
for a listname with a dot in it. (I'm guessing that the author
didn't really want a \ there, since IIRC '.' isn't special inside a
Perl character class and so doesn't warrant escaping... but that
isn't the problem you are encountering.) My Perl-foo has weakened
over years of disuse, so it is risky to suggest something I can't
test. But since I didn't see any other replies, you might try
something like:
if ($query->param('config') =~ /^(.*?)(\.htsearch)?$/) {
No warranty is expressed or implied. If it breaks, you get to keep
all the pieces.
I don't know if there are other places in the patches that assume
there are no dots in the listname once you get past this hurdle.
