>Cool. Thanks for doing the perl 5 test.

You're welcome.  Perl 4.063 just would *NOT* work (error 139).  Perl 5 fails
one of the tests, but MajorDomo works OK.  Perl 5 image is over *twice* as
large as that for Perl 4!

WARNING TO PERL5 USERS - make sure you get *both* patch files (a and b), and
be careful when you run them - neither the directory created by Perl 5, nor
the directories that the patches expect to find it in (each patch is
different) matches!

This seems to work fine.

This works fine as well.

So I *think* I have got 1.92 going, though it's still cross-pollinated with
the old 1.62 stuff (like majordomo.cf).  I just set up an alias
"majordomo-1.92" to test the list manager, which calls the wrapper and
(presumably) the other files in my ../majordomo-1.92 directory.  On Monday
I'll try to switch everything over - it's difficult from home over the
modem.  I guess I'm spoiled by having a pair of graphics heads with 19"
monitors going at once.

- Jim
