Christian:

It was my past post that you recall.  I have found that in MV 3.08 when you
specify AllowGlobal <catalog_name> in minivend.cfg it will cause all but the
last subroutine defined in catalog.cfg to fail.  I got the same errors as
you have indicated.  This is regardless of whether you actually define a
global subroutine in minivend.cfg or not.  Just the existence of AllowGlobal
is enough to cause the problem.  It was suggested that I put "no strict;" at
the top of my subroutines, but that did not fix the problem.  My solution
wasn't the best.  I moved all subroutines to catalog.cfg and opened up
Safe.pm a bit by using SafeUnTrap in minivend.cfg.  Shudder!!!  This allowed
me to make some unsafe system calls.

Cheers,
Gerard
