It's my understanding that re-installing Mail::ClamAV
will have no effect anyway and will likely break
clamavmodule.

Mail::ClamAV requires the libclamav.so.2 module which
clamav 0.92 does not have (clamav 0.92 has
libclamav.so.3), so if you're using Mail::ClamAV 0.20
and clamav 0.92, it just won't work. You need to stay
with 0.91.x or move to clamd.

I have spoken to the author of Mail::ClamAV and he has
said he'll release a new version of Mail::ClamAV after
the new year break which will be compatible with
clamav 0.92.

I personally use clamav and perl-Mail-ClamAV from
RPMforge and this topic has been the discussion
recently int he users at lists.rpmforge.net mailing list.

Regards,

Michael.
