OK.

OK. The first line of the script says
	#!/usr/bin/perl --

Now we have two possibilities:
1) For some reason, you don't have /usr/bin/perl . Dale showed you how to
   deal with that.
2) You have /usr/bin/perl, but it cannot be started. (Try "/usr/bin/perl";
   if that fails, provide "ldd /usr/bin/perl"'s output please). I've had
   trouble with libdl not being found in the past.

Possibility 1 is the most probable.

I just checked; it's that way in 1.3.1 too. The C start-stop-daemon is only
in unstable.
