Howdy:

As I mentioned before, the undefined value bug is a problem in the
File::Cache module that News Clipper uses. I've submitted a patch, and
am waiting for the new release of the module.

In the meantime, people experiencing the File::Cache undefined value
problem can do the following to fix it. (This only applies to users
that are not running the pre-compiled versions.)

1) Run 'NewsClipper -d' and note where it says the File::Cache module
is located (near the end of the output)

2) Open the Cache.pm file for editing.

3) In the subroutine _read_object_data, find the line 

     %$data_ref = %{ thaw($frozen_object_data) };

   and change it to 

     # if the %$frozen_object_data is corrupted, thaw will return undef 
     my $thawed_data = thaw($frozen_object_data); 
              
     return unless defined $thawed_data; 
                         
     %$data_ref = %$thawed_data; 

That should fix it!

David
