Logging Program Action

I am using FreeBSD 5.4. Presently, I am using DADA Mail, a mass mailing
program similar to MailMan. The program runs fine under FreeBSD, with
one exception.

When the program "POPs" a message from the mailbox set up for it, it
fails to delete the message. This leads to the message being resent
endlessly unless I remove it manually. The programs' author, Justine
Simoni, has been unable to correct this problem.

For the record, I am using QPOPPER, the latest version. If I access this
mailbox with my usual MUA, the message is downloaded and deleted
normally.

What I am looking for is a program that can log everything that the DADA
module is doing when it runs. Specifically, when the module that
accesses the mailbox runs, if possible. Perhaps I could then find out
what the problem is. DADA is written in PERL.
