Error after perl5 upgrade 5.8.8 to 5.8.9 on FreeBSD

[Mikael Syska]

Hi,

I had the exact same problem ... I used about 6 hours on it ... after
that trying all the things suggested to this thread ... nothing did
work ... so I downgraded perl to 4.8.8 and MailScanner was happy
again.

I would wait until Peter the FreeBSD port mainianner get his packages
accepted into the portstree, maybe the error is resolved in the newest
release of MailScanner. :-)

best regards
Mikael Syska
