Hmm. Well, let's keep it simple and not upgrade Perl...
In /tmp (or the directory of your choosing), do a "ln -s /bin/true pod2text".
Then, set your path to have that directory first (*) ie:
PATH=/tmp:$PATH
export PATH
or
set path = ( /tmp $PATH )
Depending on your shell. Then try the rebuild again. It ought to find
/tmp/pod2text, which will return no output, and continue without error.
You'll end up with some blank files in the RPM (under
/usr/doc/spamassassin-2.20/doc I believe,) but that's not a big deal.
Just make sure to remove the pod2text file when you're done.
(*) - Note: This is a security issue if users can log into this machine
or otherwise make files in the directory you choose. For instance, they
could put in a wrapper for "ls" which would make a setuid shell available
somewhere. You could choose /usr/bin or another non-user-writable area
instead of /tmp to circumvent this problem. This is also why having
"." in your path is a bad thing (tm).
