MailScanner Broke on both Fedora Core 6 & 7

[Jason Ede]

How did you uninstall and reinstall perl? If you did this with yum, then you'll probably need to check the requirements of MailScanner to check that everything needed is installed again as a lot of things depend on perl. Then take a look at the perl modules inside the mailscanner install and install as many as you can with yum, before running the MailScanner install script.

What errors do you get when you try starting MailScanner or won't it even install?

Perl was broken on 6 for sure, not so sure about 7 as MailScanner won't even install on that system and me being an idiot I decided to uninstall perl which really messed me up. But I did manage to get that back installed but still nothing. Next I decided to upgrade the system to 7 which really messed me up as the one system is now off line. How do I correct the perl situation?
