   First, check that your binkd has been compiled with perl support:   
      
   tommi@kco:~$ binkd -vv   
   Binkd 1.1a-115 (Sep 26 2025 10:15:21/Linux)   
   Compilation flags: gcc, zlib, bzlib2, perl, amiga_4d_outbound, af_force.   
   Facilities: fts5004 ipv6   
      
   I have these lines in my binkd.conf:   
      
   perl-hooks /bbs/nodelist.pl   
   perl-var nodelist fidonet:/bbs/nodelist.ndl   
   perl-var magichost *   
   defnode -nr *   
      
   That should allow binkd to poll any node in the nodelist.
