Problems with newgetopt

Hello,

        I have just installed MHonArc and am having a problem when trying
to use it. This is the error I receive:

syntax error in file /usr/contrib/perl5/lib/newgetopt.pl at line 36, next 2
tokens "use Getopt"
syntax error in file /usr/contrib/perl5/lib/newgetopt.pl at line 42, next 2
tokens "$Getopt:"

       Here is the code beginning with line 36.

use Getopt::Long;

################ Subroutines ################

sub NGetOpt {

    $Getopt::Long::debug = $newgetopt::debug
        if defined $newgetopt::debug;
    . . . 


       The version of newgetopt.pl is v 1.17. I am not a Perl programmer,
so I can not tell what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

                                          cjw
