  Perl is for the checkrad.pl script.  If you don't run it, you don't
need Perl.

  Is it being *used* at all?  What do you see when you run the server in
debugging mode?

  If you:

 a) receive accounting packets

 b) configure the SQL module to store data

 c) set 'Simultaneous-Use := 1' somewhere

  Then it should work.

  As *always*, run the server in debugging mode to see what it's doing.
 In 2.1.7, you can use "raddebug".
