Subject: Majordomo 1.93 advertise bug on Solaris 2.4/Perl 5.0

  Just figured out that the problems I was having with the 'advertise' config
option was apparently (?) due to quirks in perl 5.0's regular expression
matching.

We're running Majordomo 1.93 on Solaris 2.4 with Perl 5.0.

I made the following changes to get things to work:

# diff majordomo ~/src/majordomo/majordomo-1.93/majordomo
884,885c884,885
<                     $result = 1;
<                     last if ($reply_addr =~ $i);
---
>                     $command = "(qq~$reply_addr~ =~ $i)";
>                     $result = 1, last if (eval $command);


Note that I'm not on the list, in case you have any questions...
