That wasn't the problem. It's more weird / unusual behaviour of perl and/or binkd's perlhooks. If I do something like this

sub on_handshake
{
    if (0) {
        @me = ("4000:1/1@testnet");
    }
}

I get the same error. My expectation was that the @me variable is never touched because of the if (0). But for some reason it gets initialized as an empty array, when it appears somewhere in the script. Another example:

sub on_handshake
{
    Log(3, "<<< on_handshake() >>>");
}


sub after_handshake
{
    Log(3, "<<< after_handshake() >>> @me");
}


+ 08:43 [1459] outgoing session with 127.0.0.1:24554
- 08:43 [1459] <<< on_handshake() >>>

There is not even a @me in the sub on_handshake().
