Checking the path I do find the directories! The first has perl
support files and includes getopts.pl. The second directory only
has *.ph files (?). The file attributes are...
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 955 Jan 20 1997 getopts.pl

Geeez!! Seems there are perl files everywhere! Checking directories
referred to in the program, here's is what I have:
/usr/libdata/perl (perl support files)
/usr/libdata/perl5 (perl5 support files & directories, all set
for read only. No getopts.pl file)
/usr/libdata/perl5/Getopt (directory with the following files..)
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 27244 Jan 20 1997 Long.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3089 Jan 20 1997 Std.pm
/usr/bin (no getopts.pl, but with other files...)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 449995 Oct 3 15:02 .perl5

/usr/local/lib/perl5 (lots of support files, all read only)
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 942 Oct 3 15:21 getopts.pl
Question:
Should the 'resend' file # !/usr/bin/perl5 be pointing to
/usr/libdata/perl ??
Is it sufficient that [perl -e 'print join(":",@INC),"\n"'] returns...
/usr/libdata/perl./usr/libdata/perl/include.. ???

:Perl is easy to compile. Why not just do it?
Seems this should be straightened out by the support people at my
server, and the programs should point to the correct perl installation
rather than me trying to run my own copy of perl. Besides taking up
more disk space, I would then still have to know which version of perl
and the support files to use, as well as how to make majordomo use or
point to these files.
Ooops... this just in from Jack Schnapper <jack@mailzone.com> who also is
customer/user at the same server:
:As for getpots.pl, I found it and can help you there. You'll need to back
:up a bit, but it works. You need to tar majordomo version 1.94.1 as that has
:everything in it, including a full Perl5 release. The getpots.pl is there.
:Just do tar that one and then tar majordomo.tar (which is simply a link to
:majordomo version 1.94.3) and *that* problem will go away.
:
:Resend now works fine for me.
Perl5? Is my setup pointing to an old version of perl?
I don't undersand why this would work, but I'll have to try it just
to get majordomo's 'resend' working. Later on perl and majordomo need
to be set up properly.
Thanks again Jason, Sandy, and Jack! More later,
