 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.
