Yes, though if it's the version of perl that came with Solaris (not one you compiled yourself or installed from sunfreeware.com) you may have problems installing other required perl modules. Test this by manually installing a perl module like Digest::MD5 or Storable with the standard (unpack/perl Makefile.PL/make/make test/make install) method. If that fails, you have two solutions: 1) Fix Sun's version of perl by telling it to use the C compiler installed on the machine (usually gcc) rather than Sun's C compiler (costs money, probably not installed.) Verify you have a working C compiler installed; if not, get gcc and associated tools from sunfreeware.com. Then read http://www.cynistar.net/~apthorpe/xcit/doclets/configuring_cpan.html and modify your perl libraries accordingly. It's not difficult. -- or -- 2) Install a new, funcational version of perl. You can get perl, gcc, and other tools at sunfreeware.com and install perl from a package. Probably better still is to get gcc and install perl from source. This isn't very difficult either. Once you've done that, configure CPAN according to http://www.cynistar.net/~apthorpe/xcit/doclets/configuring_cpan.html Then you can use perl -MCPAN -e shell install Mail::SpamAssassin and it should download and install very easily, including all the prerequisite modules. hth, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
