Ok. I'm starting to understand this now. I've built perl 5.8.8 and
pointed my existing amavisd-new at it, by editing its first line. I
then added, via CPAN, any module it complained was missing, each time
I tried to run it, until it no longer complained of anything missing
(that was required, anyway - I seem to have a fair number of optional
modules that start like auto::something that I'm missing and not sure
how to get).
amavisd is definitely looking at perl 5.8.8 as is evident from it's
out put. In fact it's using
/usr/local/perl-5.8.8/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf as it's config
file and the *.pre files it's using are in the same directory and the
rules it's loading are in /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/share/spamassassin. It
doesn't appear to be reading any other local.cf.
I'll work on removing any other versions of SA on the system, except
the one under perl 5.8.8. What else can I do to get this to work? I
think I'm making progress at least. :)
