I had the same error messages and was the one that commented out "eval:"
to get it to stop complaining.  However, while that stopped the error
messages SpamCopURI didn't seem to be working.

I went back and reinstalled SA 2.63 and the two perl modules in Steve's
message.  That fixed things.  I put the "eval:" line back in and
uncommented the redirect lines.  All ran without complaints and I
started seeing SA reports with SpamCopURI scores.
