I'm not sure that this mailing list is just where I should post this because it's concerning perl4 included to the source tree as a GNU contribution. After upgrading from 2.2-stable source tree I noticed that when adding a new user, the adduser.message is sent to one without a proper evaluation of variables contained in the file: $fullname, $passwd, $name (the whole line containing a variable is excluded from the message). Looking to the adduser source I haven't mentioned anything unusual, it just evals every line of the file. When I try to execute adduser with perl5, it works properly. So why it now doesn't with perl4?
