Thank you for your reply!

Is this an intentional side effect of installing qpsmtpd? How can I
repair it?
Is the file README in the current directory? perldoc is not magical; if
the file isn't in the current directory, or there isn't a README.pod in
the Perl site directory, there is nothing to show.
Yes, README is in the current directory. Everything is the same as
before, except for having run the qpsmtpd make sequence. (I don't know
what you mean with README.pod -- that file is not in the svn repository
-- nor what the "Perl site directory" is.)
On a closely related topic, I'm not really sure that installing qpsmtpd
like that is going to work, since that mode is not well tested. Most
people just download/check out the files and put them in the directory
where they want them to run. It's been a goal of mine to get qpsmtpd up
to the point where it could be dropped onto CPAN and installed
automatically with a minimum of prompting. We aren't there yet...
Hmm, after a few days of reading web pages and archived email messages
and some exchanges here on the mailing list, I got the impression that
that was the preferred way of installing qpsmtpd. It took some
additional tweaking and adjusting as well as Peter's xinetd files, but
now the basic functionality is running fine.
