Hmm. Try firing up erlang and testing to see if it can find the module:

> erl
Erlang R13B04 (erts-5.7.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [rq:4]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.7.5  (abort with ^G)

["bluemail","cache","#"]

(i.e. type/copy+paste the line from the "re:" onwards).

If you get another undef then that suggests you don't have the re
module. In R12B3, the re module was experimental. I wonder whether that
meant some distributions didn't include it. Did you compile from source
or is your erlang installation from some package? And if so, which
package?
