recommendation: don't use the perl hook stuff... you don't need it... use the 
distributed binkd nodelists or generate them from the official network 
nodelists with one of the available scripts... then, include them in your 
config... just make sure they have their own name...

eg: binkd.cfg

  stuff
  stuff
  stuff
  [...]
  include fido-binkd.txt
  include agor-binkd.txt
  include myconnections.txt
  -EOF-

so in the above, at the end of our conf file, we include the fidonet binkd.txt 
nodelist and one for agoranet... we give them our own names... lastly we 
include a file with our connections listed... the main thing this is for is 
session level (aka mailer-to-mailer) passwords and defining outbound and 
possibly inbound fileboxes... one can also override the domain for remote 
systems if needed... these need to be listed in the proper order so that your 
overrides are loaded after the base node entries...

check the binkd command line parameters, too... in our setup, any time one of 
the above files changes, we just copy it in and binkd automatically recognizes 
this and reloads the conf... over here, our command line is basically

  binkd -C binkd.conf
