I have a Red Hat Linux 9 machine that has Perl 5.8 installed on it, and Perl 5.8 on this machine looks deeply embedded to the core of the OS, based on the ton of dependencies when I do "rpm -e perl". I need to run SpamAssassin on this machine, but the SpamAssassin docs highly recommends using Perl 5.6 and NOT Perl 5.8.
*****Is there anyway I can install Perl 5.6.1 for use by SpamAssassin only, so I can leave Perl 5.8 for the OS and everything else?***** I'm afraid trying to uninstall Perl 5.8 on this machine, besides having a hundred depending packages to uninstall first, and then to re-install after back revving Perl, will leave the OS in an unstable state. Any ideas? How are others handling this problem? Does SpamAssassin (v2.55 and v2.60) seem to be running fine on Perl 5.8?
