Actually, all these warnings are harmless - the output is as
intended.  The issue is that one of the regex groupings is
conditionalised, so you get this warning for any method which doesn't
have parameters (after the change).

Anyway, it's distracting and might hide actual problems, so I've tweaked
the code to fix this warning.  It'll probably run a bit slower now, but
I doubt by enough to matter given its purpose.  Also, I've added a
copyright and licence notice:

I suspect you might want to look at the "check_at_least" parameter to
Enquire::get_mset()...
