I've upgraded MailScanner to 4.66.3 and it's working fine.  However, I 
noticed that your latest version of Test::Harness didn't install.  I'm 
still using version 2.52. 

I also attempted to upgrade my version of CPAN.  The newest version of 
CPAN requires at least Test::Harness 2.62.  When CPAN tries to upgrade 
to that version I get an error message that the 2.52 install looks 
suspicious and it won't do the upgrade.  I've tried everything I can 
think of to remove/upgrade Test::Harness without success. 

How can I get remove the 2.52 version of Test::Harness and move the a 
higher version?
