Problem: ddclient 3.73 no longer starts

Symptom: here are the errors messages

root@host:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.ddclient start
Starting ddclient: /usr/sbin/ddclient: line 14: require: command not found
/usr/sbin/ddclient: line 15: use: command not found
/usr/sbin/ddclient: line 16: use: command not found

/usr/sbin/ddclient: line 23: my: command not found

/usr/sbin/ddclient: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/sbin/ddclient: line 26: `my $hostname  = hostname();'

Background:
I'm running ddclient on Slackware 12.  I have been using it for a few years
without issue.  I believe the problems may have started a month or so ago when
I upgraded from Slack 11 to Slack 12, but that only a guess.  It appears that
/usr/sbin/ddclient is having trouble finding perl, again a guess.  Slack 12
uses perl 5.8.8 which I use for other functions without apparent issue.

I've search the help forum here and Google but no joy.  Any ideas on how to
bring ddclient back to life?

TIA
