#perl-hooks /etc/fido/nodelist.pl
#perl-var nodelist fidonet:/home/fnet/nodelist/nodelist.[0-9][0-9][0-9]
#perl-var magichost *
#perl-dll perl58.dll # only for win32 and os/2 versions with runtime DLL load

# and then "*" in hosts list will be substituted to INA value from nodelist.
# If set magichost to another value (i.e. '!' or '+'), you can preserve

# Note that strictIP (-ip or -sip flags) will not check by nodelist info.
