Re: [ SPAM ] problems with new perl???

That may be the difference in experience.  I am running perl version=20
5.10.1.  There were a number of deprecated features that were removed=20
when I moved to 5.10.1.   I would not have moved to Mailman if I hadn't=20
been forced to.
If you haven't already done so, you should check your logs at startup of=20
majordomo looking for deprecated features. These will be your challenge=20
the next time you update perl.

With no updates to majordomo, it will just continue to get harder.  I=20
gave up. More power to you if you can hold on.
