On Nov. 10th I had a strange problem with MailScanner due to perl. It 
was not quite like yours although the result was the same: it would not 
start. I solved it by rebooting the machine. I hate to do that but there 
was no magic that would make it work.

Of course, Gerry's idea makes sense too. But in my case I also had 
strange messages telling me that things that I did have were not installed.
