The file has to exist that you're trying to modify, otherwise it'll give
up :). Permissions issue?

Better to do that section may be:

     my $tmpsupfile;
     my $supfile = "/etc/standard-supfile";
     my $newhost = "cvsup.fr.freebsd.org";

     if (!defined($supfile) || !defined($newhost)) {
         return undef;
     }

     $tmpsupfile = new File::Temp();
     die "$!" unless(defined($tmpsupfile);
     open(SUP, "$supfile") or die "$!";


You need to add:

use File::Temp;

to the top of your script after "use strict;" though, and the Perl
module *should* be available with standard installations.

Cheers,
