Hm, interesting to hear that - it should be independently usable, but apparently that's no longer the case. If you have the specific error message you got, it could be helpful to track down what's wrong.

Not yet, but I have an idea. You are on Ubuntu Lucid, you said, right? So we can assume are relatively new Perl interpreter. Maybe it sees UTF-8 characters where it didn't do so before.

Could you try the following modification (applied to /usr/bin/scanner)?

         my $t = length($name) ? "$name/$name1" : $name1;



The first question then would be if it makes the error message go away. (I can't check right now, because the error doesn't happen on the older systems I have.)

The second question would be if the scanner scans correctly.
