System: FreeBSD juno.lyx 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #12: Wed Sep 11 08:40:18 CEST 2013 wolfgang@juno.lyx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JUNO i386

	perl5-5.16.3_2
	majordomo-1.94.5_7

>Description:
	After upgrading perl from 5.8.something to 5.16 majordomo
	fails to send out mails, with error message

	Can't locate getopts.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16/BSDPAN
	+/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16
	+/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16 .) at
	+/usr/local/majordomo/resend line 74.
	554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2

	Reason appears to be that new perl installations don't have
	a getopts.pl any more. NetBSDs package has a patch for this and
	also for now missing ctime.pl

>How-To-Repeat:
	Upgrade machine with majordomo installation to perl 5.16 and try
	to distribute mail to the list.

>Fix:
