syntax error @ ParamVal.pm line 65

[Andrew D. Forkes]

Would anyone out there with a working copy of MailScanner installed and
working under Linux (RedHat would be cool) and with perl version 5.005_03
(or close), please send me the output from: "./MailScanner -V" so I could
check my packages/versions ?

Many many thanks for any help.

Best,
Andrew
