starting sympa fails

[Hans Bausewein <hans@comerwell.xs4all.nl>]

Hello all,

I've installed sympa, but starting it fails with:

Can't modify reference constructor in scalar assignment at
/usr/lib/sympa/bin/smtp.pm line 67, near "$rcpt;"
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa.pl line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa.pl line 22.
.

line 67 of /usr/lib/sympa/bin/smtp.pm shows:

   my @t = $rcpt; \@t = $rcpt;


I've never been good in Perl, but I gues it's the second assigment that
fails. 

Sympa version is 2.6.1-3 and Perl is 5.6.1-5

I guess that may be the cause. I've upgraded Perl on a mostly potato system.
