unpack the tarball in ~/local/

Personally I unpack it to ~/lib/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.20/
and then do "ln -s Mail-SpamAssassin-2.20 SpamAssassin" for easy
upgrades.

Then, cd into that directory and do "perl Makefile.PL; make".  There's
no need to do a "make install".

Finally, in .procmailrc, you'll want your version of:
:0fw
| $HOME/lib/SpamAssassin/spamassassin -P -a -c $HOME/lib/SpamAssassin/rules

(that probably just means lib->local)

That really should be all there is.
