Pipe an email to it from shell and see what happens.  The error should be
evident there.

Just save the contents of an email with full headers on your hard drive in
shell to myemail.eml and then use:

cat myemail.eml |/usr/local/sbin/vacation.pl /var/vacation/micheal.msg
micheal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If that doesn't spit out the error for you, you'll have to debug the perl
script by hand.

HTH,
Greg
