A resounding "Me Too" to this - though my problem is a bit different, since
I want to run a (perl) script at startup on the system to serve as a mail
filter for other computers (POPFile - damn, it's a nice proggy) and Perl
seems to just simply hang when I throw it into rc.local (since the computer
just won't boot at all past POPFile).

Is anyone else here using POPFile?  Can you offer tips on this subject to
me, as well as the original poster?
