A « clean » solution would be to install the Net::CIDR package from the 
Testing version. As you can see from 
<http://packages.debian.org/testing/perl/libnet-cidr-perl>, it only 
requires perl (>= 5.6.0-16), which you happen to already have :

> /usr/share/MailScanner /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1
                                             ^^^^^
                                             Seems good enough...

You can install this package, either by downloading it directly from a 
debian mirror (it will be in .../pool/main/libn/libnet-cidr-perl/), or 
by using the « pinning » APT feature to download it from the Testing 
repository (you can find more info on pinning at 
<http://minilien.com/?SPXYcLRX2O> -- that's the Google Cache, since the 
original page seems to be AWOL at this moment).

At any rate, I would discourage using the CPAN perl module to get it, 
since it wouldn't then be entered into the Debian package management 
system...

HTH
