Perl Error with 4.35.8-1

[Rose, Bobby]

I've been using ActivePerl 5.8 for a long time (since Spamassassin
preferred using 5.8) and /usr/bin/perl is softlinked to it's perl
binary.  .xs?  Mine are .bs and .so files.  I haven't had any problems
with MS or AciveState's Perl before and I've been using MS for almost
3-4yrs now.

Take a look in your perl directories for Base64.xs and QuotedPrint.xs
files (and/or any .so files of the same name).

Also, are you sure you are only ever using 1 Perl installation?
Hopefully your /usr/bin/perl either doesn't exist or is a link to
/usr/local/..../perl.

I only test the Solaris systems against the Sun-provided copy of Perl.
