However the perl-Sys-Hostname-Long-1.4-1.src.rpm file is already included
in MailScanner-4.56.1-1.rpm.tar.gz.  That rpm contains the 
Sys-Hostname-Long-1.4.tar.gz which is in the Clam-SA tarball.

I still think something very strange is going on with the installation of 
the Perl modules.  The installation goes as far as installing 
perl-Getopt-Long-2.35-1, which appears to go fine.  However when running 
MailScanner -v there is no mention of this module at all - see listing 
below.  It is however found at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm.

Having another look at the install log I now finally notice this:

file /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm from install of perl-Getopt-Long-2.35-1 conflicts with file from package perl-5.6.1-36.1.71
file /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/newgetopt.pl from install of perl-Getopt-Long-2.35-1 conflicts with file from package perl-5.6.1-36.1.71
file /usr/share/man/man3/Getopt::Long.3pm.gz from install of perl-Getopt-Long-2.35-1 conflicts with file from package perl-5.6.1-36.1.71

I suspect that when a module installation failure occurs during the
execution of the following command:

   rpm -Uvh ${NODEPS} ${RPMROOT}/RPMS/${ARC}/${FILEPREFIX}.${ARC}.rpm

then the script breaks out of the Here Documents loop at this point and 
fails to continue to install any remaining Perl modules.
