Problem Getting MailScanner running on Cobalt RAQ 4 w/ updated OS

The admin interface seems to be working, so I'm not entirely convinced 
that perl 5.0 is not what the system is still using, to me it looks like 
both are installed, but cpan put the install of perl 5.8 in another 
location.

I have not considered moving to a different platform until now.  I've 
heard of people running Debian, but I'm not as familiar with it as RH.  
Do you have a suggestion?
