People,

I am trying to execute a PERL program based on email.
I changed /etc/aliases, to add an alias:
emailupdate: "|/home/bsparks/emaildb/emaildb.pl"
I tried it both with, & w/out a space after the pipe |.
After trying: echo "try this" | mail emailupdate
I get a mail message saying:
sh: emaildb.pl not available for sendmail programs

The script exists in the right place, has execute set for others,
the directories all have access set for others, runs when I 
just run it as a program, etc. I've been rtfm'ing, & can't find
any further requirements.

What's happening?
