Do you know which directory contains the names pipes on Linux? This may be my key as I have messed up owner/protection on several directories.
I modified the .pl code to return the error number as you suggested, reformime is returning a 256.
When I ran $mimeunpacker_binary directly, the system degraded significantly. It took me about 5 minutes to tail syslog to see that there are several 'out of memory' errors. As I'm supporting this system remotely, I need to have the user reboot.
Thanks for your help!

Here are both the 'open' and the 'close' for reference (mimeunpacker_binary is reformime)...
==
open(MIME,"$mimeunpacker_binary <$scandir/$wmaildir/new/$file_id|")
||&tempfail("cannot call mimeunpacker - $!");
close(MIME)||&tempfail("cannot close mimeunpacker - $!");
==
the "open" (*1) line reads the output of the piped cmd
"$mimeunpacker_binary <$scandir/$wmaildir/new/$file_id|"
into the opened I/O filehandle named "MIME".
That MIME-named pipe is trying to get closed (*2) in order to be examined, but the close of the pipe is failing.
Perhaps modifying:
close(MIME)||&tempfail("cannot close mimeunpacker - $! - $?");
might reveal something helpful (e.g. exit status)?

Have you tried running the "$mimeunpacker_binary <$scandir/$wmaildir/new/$file_id" cmd by hand on the mail file?
