Hi all
quick question: how the hell is the nodelist compiler (nodelist.pl) supposed to work? Because as far as I can tell - it doesn't.
I tried this in the configuration and all I get in the logs are "no nodelist found" or something to that effect:
perl-hooks /etc/binkd/nodelist.pl
perl-var nodelist /etc/binkd/nodelist/NODELIST.�0-9��0-9��0-9�
perl-var magichost *
So I try to run it manually:
perl nodelist.pl /etc/binkd/nodelist/NODELIST.269 magichost *
Nothing happens.
Any ideas?

First, check that your binkd has been compiled with perl support:
tommi@kco:~$ binkd -vv
Binkd 1.1a-115 (Sep 26 2025 10:15:21/Linux)
Compilation flags: gcc, zlib, bzlib2, perl, amiga_4d_outbound,
af_force.
Facilities: fts5004 ipv6
I have these lines in my binkd.conf:
perl-hooks /bbs/nodelist.pl
perl-var nodelist fidonet:/bbs/nodelist.ndl
perl-var magichost *
defnode -nr *
That should allow binkd to poll any node in the nodelist.

I see � and � instead of [ and ].

It does not work from the command line, only as a binkd perlhook.
perl-var nodelist /etc/binkd/nodelist/NODELIST.?-9?0-9?0-9
perl-var nodelist fidonet:/bbs/nodelist.ndl
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
