Those are compile errors in the core SA code. Your install appears to
be corrupted. 

Has anyone been editing the files under /usr/share/perl5/Mail/ ?

You will probably need to wipe and reinstall SA from scratch. Note 
that your local rules and bayes database shouldn't be affected by 
doing this.

You may have two different copies of SA installed, and one is bad. 
This can happen if you install SA from a distro package and then later 
attempt to install or upgrade from CPAN (or vice versa).

Those are Perl language options; you shouldn't be fiddling around with 
that stuff unless you're an SA developer or you want to modify SA 
itself (as opposed to just creating rules or doing other common 
administrative tasks).
