majordomo and perl 5.004

[Brad Roberts <braddr@puremagic.com>]

I upgraded a bunch of hamm packages this morning including the perl 5.003.07 to 5.004 (ok, its been a while since I did a dselect run) and it seems that majordomo.pl from 1.94.1 isn't liked much by perl 5.004.

Two issues:
/bin/perl disappeared  -- I added a soft link back in
/usr/lib/majordomo/majordomo.pl line 519ish

    # Nuke anything within quotes.  Placate Emacs -------v
#    1 while $temp =~ s/(^|([^\\\"]|\\.)+)\"([^\\\"]|\\.|$)*\"?/$1/g;
    1 while $temp =~ s/(^|([^\\\"]|\\.)+)\"(([^\\\"]|\\.)*|$)\"?/$1/g;

I don't know that the second while line is correct, but its working far better than the first one did (perl was tossing out an error message during script compilation and never running it at all).
