I'm dearly sorry that the sample code in the README file was obsoleted by the 
work that led to sl_send_reply not being available any longer.

The reason for the error message you get is that module functions in some 
cases execute preprocessing steps (so-called "fixups") that cannot 
be "undone" by the Perl module. Executing them results in memory leaks; 
eventually, your OpenSER will run out of memory.

It is possible nonetheless to execute sl_send_reply (and all other functions 
of the same type) by setting a "hidden" flag (I'll give you a hint in a 
private mail). Be aware, though, that this will result in a memory leak; you 
should then restart OpenSER once in a while to release all allocated memory.

No other way that I am aware of :(

Fixing the underlying problems has been on the OpenSER "Todo" for quite a 
while; unfortunatley, things are not that easy...
