Error - Use of uninitialized value within %hcategory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am running PP -k to write rules to seperate files as I find this useful 
for disabling groups of rules.
2. Running with the above option, I seem to get the above error but it may just 
be cosmetic.

Excerpt from -v output:

Writing rules to unique destination files....
        Writing rules to /etc/snort/rules/
Use of uninitialized value within %hcategory in numeric eq (==) at 
/etc/snort/pulledpork.pl line 1055.
        Creating /etc/snort/rules/dos_so.rules
Use of uninitialized value within %hcategory in numeric eq (==) at 
/etc/snort/pulledpork.pl line 1055.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The error may be purely cosmetic, but appears even when not running with -v

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.6.1, Linux FC-14.

Please provide any additional information below.

Peter, sorry for the delayed response... can you describe your setup more for 
me, i.e. what rulesets you are running (VRT, ET, Shared Objects etc).. I am 
unable to reproduce this error on my system.

Hi - I'm pulling down VRT and ET, and I'm also generating SO rules.
I've switched to writing to a single file for now. I was doing:
pulledpork.pl -k -c pulledpork.conf -h pork.$$
but now switched to 
pulledpork.pl -E -c pulledpork.conf -h pork.$$
I mostly switched to single file because of the other issue reported here - 
changelog not produced when running with -k.
