This was a bug in the CPAN modules themselves, prior to CPAN v1.63 or so (I forget exactly). Following the recommended upgrade path by installing Bundle::CPAN would also trigger the bug and upgrade perl. The workaround is to make sure that you're running the perl 5.005 binary, fire up the CPAN shell, install *just* CPAN (not the bundle) to get the most recent version, quit and restart the CPAN shell, and *then* install Bundle::CPAN. If necessary -- and if you decide to stay with perl 5.005 -- delete all the 5.8.0 directories in /usr/lib/perl5 (or wherever the base path is) before upgrading CPAN. After that you should be OK to install SA. 2.60 sometimes gets an inconsequential test failure under perl 5.005, see bugzilla bug #2350. So you may have to "force install" it. ------------------------------------------------------- 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
