Perhaps good perl style demands that it should be done that way (I am
not really familiar with perl OO programing), and the Lire manual
explains it that way.
But it certainly works in the way I described it, and makes adding a
user-written converter somewhat easier I think, by requiring just one
extra file rather than two with a special kind of linkage between those two.
Note that the required instance of the MailScannerConverter class is
created by the last few code lines in my example script:

...
# Initialization required for the Lire DLF Converter framework

##use MyConverters::MailScannerConverter;

MyConverters::MailScannerConverter->new();

__END__

The "use ..." line was commented out since it is obviously not needed in
this context (where the package implementation immediately precedes the
instantiation).

Kind regards,
