SuSE 9 install problem

[William Burns]

Hello:

Conclusion:
The perl-MIME-tools need to be added to the list of dependancies checked for in install.sh.

Reasoning:
I'm running two SuSE machines.
One of them is "SuSE Linux Standard Server 8.0"
The other is "SuSE Linux 9.0" (It's a boxed SuSE LINUX Professional version)

When installing from the gzipped RPM version
(MailScanner-4.26.8-1.suse.tar.gz)

The install process works fine w/ SuSE 8.0
(It asks me to install pre-requisites, and run Update-MakeMaker.sh)

On SuSE 9.0, it doesn't ask me to run Update-MakeMaker.sh
(after having problems, I did anyway. I'm not sure if it helped or not)

But... w/ SuSE 9, I got an error message when the install script was rebuilding.
The error was:
> error: Failed build dependancies:
>   perl >= 0:5.00503 is needed by perl-Net-CIDR-0.08-2

SuSE 9 uses perl v5.8.1, and it's installed by default.
So... that's not the problem.

It turns out that perl-Net-CIDR-0.08-2 requires the MIME/body.pm module from perl-MIME-tools. that package is not part of the default install for SuSE 9.0.
perl-MIME-tools-5.411a-272.i586.rpm IS included on disk 4 of that distro (If anyone's looking for it)

Is this old news to you guys?
I don't see this info in the FAQ list, and couldn't find the problem via google.
