I, too, am still using CentOS 3 as my mail server 
platform, and I, too, ran into the problems you 
describe.  I'm running the same perl version as 
you, as well.  IIRC, I updated all of the perl 
modules that MS uses (from Dag repository), then 
installed MS from the RPM itself.  It worked/is 
still working great.

HTH.
