While Majordomo itself supports Perl 4, mostly because it's as ancient as
Perl 4 is, it would somewhat surprise me if MajorCool also did.

Actually, the problem is more that Perl 5.000a is an extremely old and
very buggy version of Perl 5 that's missing a lot of features that are
considered standard in a modern Perl. In this particular case, apparently
autoquoting of hash keys.
I'd strongly recommend upgrading to a modern Perl, probably 5.005_03.
