I would agree with this. Sites which are unwilling to upgrade to Perl 5 
might be unwilling as well to upgrade to MJ 2.00. For them, MJ 
1.93(4) is quite useful as it is... we could call it "Majordomo Lite"... :-) 

Or Majordomo "Classic"... ;-)

I think 2.00 would be a good number to make the jump to Perl 5...

BTW, the Perl 5 included in BSDI 2.1 is 5.001m.
