trouble installing mailscanner on freeBSD 6.2 server

[Bracey, John]

Alas, no joy.   After installing Perl 5.10 and updating the perl
modules, and installing the mailscanner-devel port, I get this now:

[root at scooby /var/spool/mqueue.in]# mailscanner -debug -debug-sa
/usr/local/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
Variable "$FIELD_NAME" is not imported at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 6479.
Variable "$FIELD_NAME" is not imported at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 6482.
Global symbol "$FIELD_NAME" requires explicit package name at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 6479.
Global symbol "$FIELD_NAME" requires explicit package name at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 6482.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner line 79.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner line
79.
[root at scooby /var/spool/mqueue.in]#

Any ideas?  Or do I have this so screwed up there's no hope? 

Thanks.

Looks like with your to'ings and fro'ings with perl you have your  
modules in a right mess. If you don't mind being a little more cutting  
edge, I would pkg_delete perl-5.8 and/or 5.9, then cd /usr/ports/lang/ 
perl5.10 and install that (It's the future ;-) ).

Then (Because I have never been that successful with the perl module  
move/ upgrade script) cd /var/db/pkg and (Assuming you have  
portupgrade or similar installed) portupgrade -f p5* pecl* and let it  
do it's thing for a while. Once that's finished, you should have perl  
with it's modules all in the same place. Once that's done, install the  
latest MS beta which works properly with perl 5.10 (I posted my own MS  
port file a week or so ago that will do it).
