Going by the recommendation of others here, I have removed my installation originally done with RPM (CentOS 4.9) and removed all my bayes files.
I am installing from CPAN as well. It borked numerous times. Then I realized that it was asking me to update CPAN. I updated CPAN, reloaded it - still showed older version. Did this process twice more, then the newer version of CPAN loaded. Then I tried in install SA. It complained about other modules. It did not ask me to include them - it simply notified me of them, then failed to build. Once I installed the required modules, SA installed. It wouldn't sa-update though, and I realized I needed an update for LWP:Useragent. Of course, CPAN wont allow me to install it, because my whole system is dependent on an older version of Perl. In the end, I realized that LWP:Useragent is part of perl-libwww. Now, I am installing the optional components of SA.
