Need Perl 5.8.0 for RBL?

[Matt Kettler]

I run MailScanner with SpamAssassin and razor just fine on perl 5.6.1
(according to perl -v)

I installed the following things via cpan for my
MailScanner/SpamAssassin/razor setup:


bundle::libnet
bundle::cpan
net:DNS
Time:HiRes,Net::Ping,Digest::SHA1,Mail::Internet (for razor)
Mail::SpamAssassin
IO::Stringy
MIME::Tools


I allowed CPAN to satisfy anything that needed dependencies and it would
appear that Digest::MD5 was pulled down in the process
(/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.20.tar exists)

Try using the following perl shell command before you try to install Net:DNS:

  o conf prerequisites_policy ask

That will cause cpan to ask you if you want to auto-install dependencies.
