I don't think that applies, but you didn't show us the stderr output to
see what Mj said. Also check the Mj log file and the temp directory (as
specified in majordomo.cf) for debug files. You may need to enable debug
and try again to get some debug output generated (put the line $DEBUG=1;
in your majordomo.cf file).

You're running Perl 4. There's a patch for this, but you'd be better off
upgrading to Perl 5.003.

That allows you to restrict world permissions on all the Mj files and
directories for better security.
