fbsd 4.11
perl 5.8.8 installed by pkg_add
postgrey 1.32
use.perl port
This machine has been running great for a week. Monday morning,
postgrey was stoppedand wouldn't start.
syslog:
Aug 18 14:20:35 mx1 postgrey[73387]: FATAL: ERROR: can't create DB
environment: No such file or directory (dbdir: /var/db/postgrey

It seems that some PERL path has gone wrong
strace postgrey --inet=10023
.. show a lot of file open failures.
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mx1# find /usr/local -iname "Syslog.pm"
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/mach/Unix/Syslog.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm
mx1# find /usr/local -iname "FileHandle.pm"
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/FileHandle.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/FileHandle.pm
For an earlier, similar problem on this machine, we were advised to
make this link,
mx1# ll /usr/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 19 Aug 18 06:14 /usr/bin/perl@ ->
/usr/local/bin/perl
How do I tell PERL and PERL apps where to find the stuff?
We'll be upping to fbsd7.0 soon, but need this machine on line meanwhile.
thanks
Len
