Hi James,

i have installed SpamAssassin from my CPAN shell in my linux box without any problem but using this versions:

perl-5.8.0-10tr
Mail::SpamAssassin-2.55

My system is running Exim 4.22 + Exiscan-ACL v.11 with SpamAssassin v.255 and all works fine.

Configuration files are available for Exim and SpamAssassing (among other config files) in my site data folder @ http://www.surestorm.com/data/

If yo have comments, just drop me an email.

best regards,

jonathan

FWIW, my little rant was all over nothing.  I just installed 5.8 from FBSD
ports and then everything worked fine, including SA.  Interestingly, it
looks like SA looks for 5.8 first when launching, because I kept 5.005
under /usr/bin, and put 5.8 under /usr/local/bin (I did not run the
"use.perl port" script) and /usr/bin is in front of /usr/local/bin in the
path.  I may try switching with that script later to see if anything else
breaks...

I thought I'd join the CPAN bandwagon and install SA with it.  To my
horror, it installed perl 5.8 (I use 5.005) and all the mods.

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.
