I'm starting to see a lot of this sort of stuff:
You'll need the following to use Majordomo:
o Perl, version 4.036 or version 5.002 (or better)
**NOTE** Future versions of Majordomo will *NOT* work
with perl4.
The writing is *definately* on the wall, the old perl4 is becoming a
liability rather than an asset.
Cheers,
