MT version: 3.15
Perl version: 5.8.4
OS: FreeBSD
MultiBlog version: 1.1.0

For months on end, MT and the MultiBlog plug-in ran flawlessly on a Linux server. Unbeknownst to me, my host has moved my blog to a FreeBSD machine. I've since had all sorts of problems. I've rectified some.

The present problem seems to be related to the MultiBlog plug-in.
(a) When I try to re-build the site, I get the following error:

Can't locate object method "get_config_value" via package "MT::Plugin" at /.../pathTo/.../extlib/rayners/MultiBlog.pm line 38.

Parameterless "use IO" deprecated at /.../pathTo/.../lib/MT/Clean.pm line 4

(b) In the list of plug-ins, when I click the MultiBlog plug-in link, I get the Internal Server Error.

1. Has anybody encountered a similar problem when a blog is migrated from one operating system to another?

2. How do you handle different Perl versions?

3. Is anybody using MultiBlog 1.1.0 under Perl 5.8.4? Could this be a problem?

I'm trying to gather as much info as possible to spoon-feed the boys at my host. They don't seem to be particularly bright.

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions.

I would definitely try uploading the plugin again. I'd also contact the plugin author (or his site) and see if he's heard of these issues.

BEGIN writ large seems to have done away with the problem for the time being. It remains to be seen whether for good.

Thank you for your thoughts, Lisa.

I know this post is two years old, but I'm having the same issue. What does "BEGIN writ large" mean? I've had to add the following:



to PluginData.pm, but then that causes the MultiBlog.pm error, and I'm wondering what error I'll get after that. Do I need to add the lines to every file, or to a particular file, etc?

Thanks!

(We have just upgraded to a server with Perl 5.8.4 and are still using MT 3.17, and not ready to upgrade. Maybe we will have to become ready very quickly.)
