I had written an awk script that was run when the package was installed.  It would fix 
your imp configuration to properly reflect your hostname (so when users sent e-mails 
they wouldn't say from [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  I also had that awk script installed with 
the package so the administrator could run it again if they ever changed the hostname.

He converted my awk script to a perl script, but failed to install a copy of it with 
the package.

awk is a text-processing language (mini-programming language), it is beautifully 
concise and expressive.  Read awk's manpage to learn it.
