Forgive me if this is a FAQ, I just joined this list, and I am desperately
searching for a solution to this problem.
I am trying to get demime working on OS X with majordomo. It required some
packages that I grabbed CPAN without any problems. I _think_ I'm running
Perl 5.6.0, but I'm not sure because CPAN kept trying to upgrade to 5.6.1. I
cancelled the upgrade, but I don't know if it went ahead and modified some
files anyway or not.
When I try to test demime, I get the following errors:
[localhost:~] jon 3:33am % /usr/majordomo-1.94.5/demime -d - < /dev/null
Bareword found where operator expected at /Library/Perl/darwin/_h2ph_pre.ph

I have an idea as to what's wrong, but I can't begin to figure out how to
fix it. I tried reinstalling perl from the OS X CD via Pacifist, but it
didn't make any difference.
This is line 2 from _h2ph_pre.ph:
unless (defined (&/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib)) { sub
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib() { 1 } }
thanks,
jon
