Hi all,

I'm about to start a new installation of Spamassassin on Redhat 7.3

I've read the warning about Perl on spamassassin.org:
************************************************************************
****
Note for Perl 5.8 Users (incl Red Hat 8)
----------------------------------------

Perl 5.8 now uses Unicode internally by default, which causes trouble
for
SpamAssassin (and almost all other reasonably complex pieces of perl
code!).

We've worked around this in most places, as far as we know, but there
may
still be some issues.  In addition, there is a speed hit, which it would
be nice to avoid.

Setting the LANG environment variable before any invocation of
SpamAssassin sometimes seems to help fix it, like so:

  export LANG=en_US

Notably, the LANG setting must not include "utf8".   However, some folks
have reported that this makes no difference. ;)
************************************************************************

So I wonder if it's clever to install perl 5.8 or I'd better stay on 5.6
?

Thx for your advice

Jeff
