I have to agree with Chan on this. Somewhere during a product
upgrade you have to make a logical break from the past. This seems
to be it. Majordomo Version 1.93 is quite stable. If people don't
want to use perl 5 let them stay with MJ 1.93.
Not migrating to perl 5 will hurt the rest of the MJ users in the
long run.
