You haven't posted a procmail recipe that I've seen, but I'm guessing
that you're invoking your script with a procmail command like:
| perl /usr/home/lnp3/scripts/mhonarc.pl
In that case, if "perl" is being resolved by your system to perl4 (as it
would be at my hosting provider), then whatever you put on the #! line
will be ignored, as the script is already being handled by perl 4 by the
time that line is evaluated. So, to reiterate my earlier suggestion:
if your script is found at:
/usr/home/lnp3/scripts/mhonarc.pl
and perl 5 is found at
/usr/local/bin/perl5
then try explictly telling procmail to invoke
| /usr/local/bin/perl5 /usr/home/lnp3/scripts/mhonarc.pl
BTW, on my question earlier today, I have a feeling that it is just a
permissions problem, but want Earl to confirm that.
I don't know what this means.
