Actually I lie here above.
I'm posting again in case anybody else might be a reckless as me and DESTROY their perl instalation and then blame it on my mail.
I ran
find -type f -mtime +30 -exec cp -aPv {} /tmp/perl5 \;
first, to make a copy of these files, so that I could put them back if needed.
MimeDefang wanted the MIME Tools and various stuff, which i copied back, coz i can't be bothered to go looking for the source of that version of patched Mime tools that MD needs.
But, in the course of copying files back, I was able to find the culprit - /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl# ls Digest -l total 32 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2433 Mar 14 2001 HMAC.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1114 Mar 14 2001 HMAC_MD5.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1133 Mar 14 2001 HMAC_SHA1.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 7066 May 6 2002 MD5.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 825 Jun 13 2002 Nilsimsa.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2679 Dec 30 2001 SHA1.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1804 Nov 28 2003 base.pm
rm -r /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Digest does the trick.
and i find i also have to nuke rm -r /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Time, getting more errors there..
