Debian Jessie, Perl version 5.020002 (5.20.2) Not bleeding edge, but not from the Dark Ages either. How about yourself? What distro/version do you have?
FWIW, to install it I downloaded the plugin from http://msbl.org/tools/sa-hashbl.tar.gz, extracted it and saved the two files in it to /etc/spamassassin. To wit, hashbl.cf and HashBL.pm. It may be a version issue however, because on Debian Stretch I just did that, and I don't get the error. No idea which perl module is behind the times however. Updating all my mail servers to Stretch is problematic; when I did it on my test host a number of things went pear shaped, and I haven't had time to work through them so that my live boxes aren't clobbered during an upgrade. ...Kevin -- Kevin Miller Network/email Administrator, CBJ MIS Dept. 155 South Seward Street Juneau, Alaska 99801 Phone: (907) 586-0242, Fax: (907) 586-4588 Registered Linux User No: 307357 -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:mysqlstud...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 11:11 AM To: Kevin Miller; SA Mailing list Subject: Re: MSBL Email Blocklist (EBL) SA usage query Hi, On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 2:20 PM, Kevin Miller <kevin.mil...@juneau.org> wrote: > I have not solved that error.

I've been using hashbl for a few months now and haven't had any problems. It's caught quite a few, although none of them have caused an email to be triggered as spam (they would have all been spam anyway). What environment are you using? It was written in 2016, so at the least, make sure your perl and perl modules are at least that current.
