[rancid] Errors in Logs

[Scott Huffman]

Any thoughts on this error:

/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 29: `getopts('dfl');'
=====================================
Getting missed routers: round 4.
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 28: use: command not found
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 29: syntax error near unexpected
token `'dfl''
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 29: `getopts('dfl');'
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 28: use: command not found
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/jrancid: line 29: syntax error near unexpected
token `'dfl''


It repeats over and over. Think this is why my rancid hangs, just not sure
what this means.
Thanks
Scott

The errors above suggest that an interpreter other than Perl is trying to
run "jrancid". Check that the first line of "jrancid" is pointing to
a working version of Perl, and that the newline format of "jrancid"
properly matches your OS.
