Kevin (and others),
Okay this suggestion is the route I took this morning. I had cloned the hard
drive before starting this upgrade, so I went back to my working version and
started over...

This time I installed 5.6.1 from rpm. The install went well. Then I
reinstalled MS (rpm distro) using install.sh Again, all went well...

But then I ran 'MailScanner -V' and got this error:

Can't locate MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .
/usr/lib/MailScanner) at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 42.

Note that BinHex.pm is installed:

# find / -name BinHex.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Convert/BinHex.pm

But its not in the @INC path listed above. I don't know why its not in the
path, nor how to fix it.

Thanks for any help! (And I am talking close notes for the future)
