[Remind-Fans] problem bulding remind

[Ruthard Baudach]

Hello Arthur,

Not knowing programming and using OpenBSD - I bet yopur knowledge will
grow...

Reading this error:

>*** Error 2 in rem2html (Makefile:25 'install': @if test "/usr/bin/perl" = "" ; then  echo "Not installing rem2html; Perl is required"; exit...)

I'd guess you haven't Perl installed.

Greetings,
Ruthard
