[mv] Perl 5.6.0 broke my Minivend 3.11

[Dennis Nichols <nichols@tradingconnections.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Dennis Nichols <nichols@tradingconnections.com>     ******

My "isp" decided unilaterally to change to Perl 5.6.0 and didn't announce 
it until 3 hours after it happened. Now I get several errors trying to 
start minivend. Any advice on a good solution? I'm particularly mystified 
by the regexp errors. Using a word boundary (\w) as part of a range seems 
odd to me (no regexp expert am I) as does using whitespace (\s) in the 
replacement part. But these can't be "real" errors since the source for mv 
4.04 still includes them.

The error messages (slightly edited to preserve security)...
