Try this command and see if you find anything:

$ find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name "*.pm" | grep -i bytes
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/bytes.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/bytes.pm

MailScanner doesn't require a newer Perl than 5.005 (yet) but I know
that SpamAssassins next version (3.0) will require 5.6 so it might be
good for you to upgrade.

Do you have Sun's compiler? If not, you can get a new Perl package from
www.sunfreeware.com compiled with GCC. Then you have to symlink
/usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl for MailScanner to pick it up.
Don't worry, Sun uses complete paths when Solaris needs the old Perl stuff.
