It's the Sircam virus. I've received variants of this message 10-20 times
a day for the last 5 days. The person who sent it wouldn't have known it
was being sent to begin with and probably hasn't even heard of Perl
Beginners (it does address harvesting somehow; I got spammed at old
addresses). It selects a document at random from the system to send, but
doesn't always embed the virus. It's sheer coincidence that this one
happened to find a document with a name that sounds relevant to this list.
This has been the most annoying virus for me because of the
spam. Hopefully it will not result in a deluge on this list.
