Made some progress on this.  Tried running archived.pl -d, getting the 
following output before it exits:

[sympa@xel008 bin]$ ./archived.pl -d
queue : /home/sympa/spool/outgoing
Modification of a read-only value attempted at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux/Sys/Syslog.pm line 312, <REMOVE> 
line 1.

Looks like archived is making a call into Syslog.pm with data that 
causes Syslog.pm to fail in an unclean manner.
