Actually, the manual recommends against perl 5. It's says that it
is known to work well with perl 4.019 but that current development
is in 4.036.

Look at the README in the distribution. It has answers to all of these
questions.

I just installed it for the first time this week (on Solaris not FBSD).
I found the doc a little confusing, but mostly all there. 

I wrote a simple minded perl script to do all the things (I perceive)
to create a new mailing list. Including, creating files for the list,
a digest and archives. It also creates the aliases for sendmail, though
it doesn't put it in the actual aliases file.

Paul.
