I'm having trouble getting this program to work:

style => 'plain',
string => '$_',

die($@) unless $sorter;

print sorter_source($sorter);

The response is this:
----------output---------
make_sorter: Unknown option or key 'style'

I tried this in two different accounts. Sort::Maker was downloaded from CPAN. Does this work for other people? Could my system be this totally messed up?

I'm using Perl 5.8.4 and Sort::Maker 0.05 on Debian 3.1.


When I make the following change to Sort/Maker.pm, the program works:
