Sorry, but this still doesn't fix it. When I run the script I get this
message:
A target has not been specified for scanning! 
/usr/local/mcafee/dat/

/usr/local/mcafee/20020115
It seems that it's happening at line 89, and then, because of the error,
it's not even getting down to line 115 where it makes the symlinks, but
I don't have the facility in perl to be sure.
