What I was referring to, is the haphazard patching of a Perl module
that might very well be used by other applications on the user's PC.
Such patching could lead to the breaking of other application.

Unless someone was going to create a custom module just for one
specific version of Clamav and MailScanner and then have it included in
the CPAN directory, I believe it is best left to the author of the
module in question to first look into patching their module so that it
maintains backward compatibility in as much as possible.

I am sorry if I was not clear about that.
