I tried to upgrade from SA 3.2.5 to 3.3.0 by installing the newer one from FreeBSD Ports. It seems that at least the Ports version thinks that the latest SA requires perl 5.10.x, rather than 5.8.9, which I was already using. Installing from ports automatically installs perl 5.10.1 which causes spamc children to run wild and basically, spamd can't cope with it.

I don't need or want perl 5.bleeding.edge, 5.8.9 was working just fine. I tried doing a 'make clean' then removing 5.10 and correcting all the symlinks to point to 5.8.9, I tried running use.perl system, but SA just keeps looking for 510 and installing it when it doesn't find it.

Reading the SA docs, it doesn't seem to require anything later than 5.8.8...can anyone clue me in as to how to tell the ports version of it to use 5.8.9? Or should I just use the source directly?
