[Mimedefang] Can't find vars.pm

[cpoole at muskegon.k12.mi.us]

Hi,

I have been working on this for a couple of weeks now and I'm still not
able to get past this.

Given:
    Solaris 2.9 (using pkg-get from sunfreeware)
    Mimedefang 2.35
    Perl 5.8.0
      @INC:
            /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
            /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
             .... (snip)

        A find on @INC locates vars.pm in
            /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/vars.pm

        A search of vars.pm in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/.packlist produces
            grep vars.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/.packlist
            /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/vars.pm type=file

Ther error message I continue to receive is:
Jul 21 09:32:35 mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 260045 mail.error] Reap:

Any help on this would be *greatly* apreciated!  I've wasted much time
on this and now I probably am so involved in it that I am probably not
seeing straight.

I also noticed that vars.pm, by definition, is obsolete looking at it's
documentation, so I don't know if this is something to consider or not.

        (...snip)

           NAME

               vars - Perl pragma to predeclare global variable names
(obsolete)

        (...snip)

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.

Regards.
