/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm is a perl module for debconf, the Debian configuration system. It's not clear to me why you picked on that particular module, but that won't work, even if it was a good idea. perl looks for a module based on it's name, so when you say 'use clamav' it looks around the file system in it's search path (@INC) for a file named clamav.pm and attempts to load it. > > 2.) copying the files into /usr/share/perl5 folder and setting the > > permissions > > 3.) none of the perl commands worked from the terminal or CPAN command > > line-- I am showing my ignorance but this is where I am. > > > > All the above failed to start clamav and I still get the error below: > > [6290] dbg: config: fixed relative path: /etc/spamassassin/clamav.pm > > [6290] dbg: plugin: loading ClamAV from /etc/spamassassin/clamav.pm > > [6290] warn: plugin: failed to parse plugin /etc/spamassassin/clamav.pm: > > >I think the @INC thing might be a red herring.

I have no idea how citadel works, sorry. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | A door is what a dog is perpetually on | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | the wrong side of. -- Ogden Nash | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
