Hi Julian.

Thanks for your comments.

I'm reluctant to replace /usr/bin/perl with a symlink to /dcs/bin/perl,
because /usr/bin/perl is the Sun version, and I'm concerned that there
might be a perl script that ships with the OS that isn't compatibile
with /dcs/bin/perl.

/bin and /usr/bin are the same directory usually on most Sun's.

Would it be sufficient to make sure the $PATH as known by MailScanner
does not include /dcs/bin/perl?

Thanks!
