Problems with sieveshell under Solaris 9

[Robert Scussel]

I I have perl 5.8.5.  I don't know about 5.8.3 and when I looked around 
I couldn't find it on Sunfreeware any more, but under 5.8.5 it states:

Important Note - Solaris 9 comes with a slightly earlier version of perl 
in /usr/bin. You may wish to use this version rather than the version on 
sunfreeware.com. If you do install this perl and want to use it rather 
than the Sun one, you will need to have /usr/local/bin in your PATH 
before /usr/bin.

Which might mean that the version you have might not be right.

This is just a guess, but I hope it helps.
