interesting, this perl code dies here with:

Script started on Tue Nov 21 13:08:07 1989
[1] [cica:/u.cica/mr] sh uutraf.pl
syntax error in file ./uutraf.pl at line 19, next token "%"
Execution aborted due to compilation errors.

now that's portable!  :-)

line 19 of uutraf.pl is:

%hosts = ();		# hosts seen

(BTW, our "xferstats" is in /usr/spool/uucp/LOG, not /usr/spool/.Admin.)
