config issue?

[Rob Livermore]

Yes, Makefile.PL is part of the extraction and I did remove all entries for
Spam-Assassin prior to attempting a fresh install.

I may be completely off base here, but is Makefile.pl created as part of the
install process?  If so it probably references the perl from /usr/local/bin
and needs to be regenerated.  Of course, if it's not generated by something
else, then completely ignore this message. :-)
