Hi im running FreeBSD 5.4 Stable.
Perl 5.8.7
Every time I start up mozbot and it auto or manually joins a channel it keeps crashing with the below errors: I have upgraded my perl modules etc. This is the first time im installing mozbot so im not sure if im overlooking anything stoopid but heres the error anyway:
