Describe the bug
Updating the database fails with
Undefined subroutine &main::CleanFromTags called at /server/service/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl line 3912, <HISTORY> line 141199.

To Reproduce
Run awstats to update database.

Expected behavior
No error message.

Additional context
The error occurs under latest 7.9. 7.8 seems to work fine.

Same here. It also leaves behind a lockfile in /tmp. Downgrading to 7.8 resolved the problem.

In /tools/ebmin/awstats/awstats-lib.pl file, there is a CleanFromTags subroutine.

sub CleanFromTags {
my $stringtoclean=shift;
$stringtoclean =~ s/$regclean1/ /g; # Replace or with space
$stringtoclean =~ s/$regclean2//g; # Remove
return $stringtoclean;
}

I copyied and pasted the subroutine into the awstats.pl file. It could run without the error.
