In my Activity Log I just saw that I have the following error: “Junk Filter TypePad AntiSpam died with: Undefined subroutine &URI::Escape::escapechar called at /home/html/cgi- bin/mt/extlib/URI/query.pm line 48.” The result is that the Antispam is not working and that I receive Spam Comments in my blog.

I also see that I’m not the only one, but nobody posted any solution to that problem: http://plugins.movabletype.org/typepad-antispam/ http://forums.movabletype.org/new-design/2008/09/issues-with-upgrade-to-mtos-42.html

Can somebody help me?

Thank you very much!

Right now, the top of _query.pm shows use URI::Escape qw(uri_unescape); Try changing that to use only URI::Escape qw(uri_unescape) => "X"; where X is the version number printed into that text file per Grant's suggestion.

Line 5 of my /mt/extlib/URI/_query.pm file is now:
use URI::Escape qw(uri_unescape) => "3.29";
instead of:
use URI::Escape qw(uri_unescape);
3.29 is the version number I found in line 149 of the /mt/extlib/URI/Escape.pm

Do you know how I can test it's working now? My blog is still private, and I don't receive a lot of Spam comments.

Thanks!

The Fire Eagle plugin includes an older version of URI::Escape that doesn't work with TypePad AntiSpam. See [this case](http://bugs.movabletype.org/default.asp?81577) about it.

You can remove the `Escape.pm` included in the Fire Eagle plugin to solve the problem too.
