Scott Beck has released version 0.22 of Mail::ClamAV in the last few days.

Could I suggest that some of us with test facilities and with a little
technical experience try the various combinations of the older and newer
versions of ClamAV and Mail::ClamAV and verify which combinations work and
fail?

 1. Old+old:  We know that the combined earlier versions work.

 2. New ClamAV + old Mail::ClamAV:  It has been reported that the new
    ClamAV (0.93) breaks with older Mail::ClamAV (0.20/0.21).  Could
    someone provide details of what this breakage is?  Is there a quick
    recipe to reproduce the problem that ClamAV 0.93 had introduced?

 3. New + new: Julian's Clam+SA package would ultimately be new+new.  Can
    we verify that this fixes any previously verified breakage?  Also that
    it does not seem to introduce any new problems.

 4. Old ClamAV + new Mail::ClamAV: There are inevitably sites which use
    other sources (not Julian's package).  Can we check what happens with
    if someone were to upgrade their Mail::ClamAV module but leave the
    main ClamAV software back on 0.92?  (Probably not too important, but
    it would be a nice data point to complete the set...)

Given Julian's sadly enforced absence from work, I'm sure he would
appreciate it if we can do this tabulation for him.
