Thanks Glenn,

Here are the relevant specs for both of my machines:

bash-2.05b$ pkg_info | grep mrtg
mrtg-2.12.2,1       The multi-router traffic grapher

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
FreeBSD host.foo.bar 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #2: Sat Nov 19 15:37:10
EST 2005     root at foo.bar:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DORMIR  i386

bash-2.05b$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i386-freebsd-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

===============================================================

I have a 4.9 box exhibiting the exact same problem.  Here are it's specs:

[mbest at helium][~]$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-freebsd

[mbest at helium][~]$ pkg_info | grep mrtg
mrtg-2.12.2,1       The multi-router traffic grapher

[mbest at helium][~]$ uname -a
FreeBSD host.example.com 4.9-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 27 1
7:51:09 GMT 2003     root at freebsd-stable.sentex.ca
:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 i386

=================================================================

The only thing the same is the version of my MRTG port.

I was unable to find the which module installs FindBin.  I checked
freshports.org and didn't find any port specifically related to anything
called FindBin.  Thanks.
