In any case, I got past that problem and am now trying to run my own
downloaded version of 2.4.3 from my own directory using procmail

got the following error message:
So your server has a copy of Perl 4 too.
Many shared systems keep perl 4 around for various legacy requirements.
The convention as far as I've observed it is to name perl4 "perl" and to
name perl 5 "perl5", keeping them segregated. Try asking `which perl5`
on the command line, and if it gives you a path, try using that path
explicitly to invoke mhonarc instead of trusting the system to do the
right thing.
