Yes, you need to install Perl 5.001e (i.e. official unofficial patches
a through e). For Perl 5 Majordomo needs to have all "quotish" strings
containing '@' escaped, e.g. "$list-owner@$whereami" should be changed
to "$list-owner\@$whereami". Quotish strings are double-quote (")
literals and "here documents" as well as regexp patterns.
