    TK> First, check that your binkd has been compiled with perl support:   
      
    TK> tommi@kco:~$ binkd -vv   
    TK> Binkd 1.1a-115 (Sep 26 2025 10:15:21/Linux)   
    TK> Compilation flags: gcc, zlib, bzlib2, perl, amiga_4d_outbound,   
    TK> af_force.   
    TK> Facilities: fts5004 ipv6   
      
    TK> I have these lines in my binkd.conf:   
      
    TK> perl-hooks /bbs/nodelist.pl   
    TK> perl-var nodelist fidonet:/bbs/nodelist.ndl   
    TK> perl-var magichost *   
    TK> defnode -nr *   
      
    TK> That should allow binkd to poll any node in the nodelist.   
      
   Ok, It's compiled with Perl support.    
      
   root@bbsutils:~# binkd -vv   
   Binkd 1.1a-111 (Feb  6 2022 12:39:49/Linux)   
   Compilation flags: gcc, debug, zlib, perl, https, ntlm, bwlim. Facilities:   
   fts5004 ipv6   
      
      
   I entered this in binkd.conf and all the paths are correct:    
      
   perl-hooks /etc/binkd/nodelist.pl   
   perl-var nodelist /etc/binkd/nodelist/fidonet.lst   
   perl-var magichost *   
   defnode -nr *   
      
   When I restart binkd it says:    
      
      
     09 Oct 21:54:30 [1263520] BEGIN, binkd/1.1a-111/Linux /etc/binkd/binkd.cfg   
   -q -C   
   ? 09 Oct 21:54:30 [1263520] No nodelist found!   
     09 Oct 21:54:30 [1263520] servmgr started   
     09 Oct 21:54:30 [1263521] clientmgr started   
      
   Any ideas?    
      
   Thanks.
