Help needed

hi

I am trying to use SpamAssassin. When I tried to write my plugin 'MyPluginX' by deriving from Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin, I get an error message and programs dies. 

More details:
------------
In the documentation, its given that we need to provide $mailsaobject

"Note that subclasses must provide the "$mailsaobject" to the super-
           class constructor, like so:

             my $self = $class->SUPER::new($mailsaobject); "

In the base class "Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin", new() is invoked within which a check is made to ensure that $mailsaobject is defined. 


Code in MyPluginX:
-----------------
package MyPluginX;

use strict;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin;
our @ISA = qw(Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin);

sub new
{
    my ($class, $mailsa) = @_;

    $class = ref($class) || $class;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new($mailsa);
    bless ($self, $class);
    ....
}


Code in Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin
----------------------------------
if (!defined $mailsaobject) {
    die "plugin here: usage: Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::new(class,mailsaobject)";
  }

My program execution stops/dies here since I dont pass this $mailsaobject. My question is how to create this object? I couldnt find any documentation regarding creating this object (a mandatory parameter!)  

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I am new to SpamAssassin.

Regards
Jyothi
