Hi All,

This is weird as everything seems to be in order but when starting 
Mailscanner I get the following:
(re-flowed the line breaks for clarity)

Starting MailScanner...
Can't locate Convert/BinHex.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/opt/MailScanner/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 . /opt/MailScanner/lib) at
/opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/BinHex.pm line 44

Hmmm... that's interesting sez I. So I did the following:
$ find /opt -name "[bB]in[Hh]ex.pm"
/opt/MailScanner-4.29.7/lib/MailScanner/BinHex.pm

However /opt/MailScanner is a symbolic link to /opt/MailScanner-4.29.7, ie:
$ ls -l /opt
total 2934
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  18 Apr  1 08:38 MailScanner -> MailScanner-4.29.7
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel 512 Mar  5 07:59 MailScanner-4.28.5
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel 512 Mar  8 14:29 MailScanner-4.28.6
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel 512 Apr  1 03:11 MailScanner-4.29.7
           ...and so on

... so when @INC has "/opt/MailScanner/lib" this should follow the symlink 
right?  Previous versions have worked fine - but what of this BinHex.pm?

System is FreeBSD 4.6.2-REL, Perl 5.8, MS 4.29.7 downloaded and verified via 
PGP.  I'm using the tar-ball BTW, NOT the ports package (we run a mix of 
Linux and fBSD MailScanner systems so we "standardised" on the only system 
common to both platforms; tar balls).

Any ideas folks?

James
