I disagree. My perl is up to date and includes versions 0.62 of
Test::Simple and Test::More in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/

Test::Pod is not part of perl on Centos 5. It is part of perl-Test-Pod
which I had never installed other than with MailScanner, and the
reason MailScanner had trouble building Test::Pod was that there was a
version 0.60 of Test::More in
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Test which "up
to date" perl will find before the one in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/.

In fact, the irony here is it was apparently my updating of perl to one
with a reordered @INC that caused the MailScanner build of Test::Pod
to fail.
