I don't follow this too closely, so apologies if someone has already
posted a solution to get Majordomo working with Perl 5.005.
Apparently Perl 5.005_02 is due out real soon and will work with
Majordomo. However, if you're already running Perl 5.005 or 5.005_01 and
Majordomo is not working, the following trivial patch to majordomo may
help. It stopped perl giving a SIGBUS on my FreeBSD 2.2.7-stable machine.
YMMV.
The patch just changes a regex from s/\s*$//g to s/\s*$//. If I understand
this correctly, the g modifier is superfluous anyway, and this is probably
why Perl is getting "confused".
