WWW::UsePerl::Journal broken

I suddenly noticed that richardc's dead handy journal-to-mail script has stopped working. A bit of digging identified changes to the use.perl.org user page as the culprit.



A simple change to the module fixed it (at least as far as it passes it's tests and runs the code I need it to :). It's been mailed to the relevant people but here's my patch in case you need it right now.
