I sent the beta list an email on July 12 (subject line contained "bleeding edge")
where I noted that I had gone thru the list of perl modules supplied with 4.80.10,
and then checked CPAN to see if newer versions were available.  There were a bunch
of newer versions out there.  I downloaded them, created a new perl-tar directory
with MailScanner + new perl modules, fixed the install.sh script to use the new
module versions, then ran install.sh to shove out 4.80.10 + new perl modules.
I saw the "hash as a reference is deprecated" complaint after this work and
reported it.

When I went to 4.81.2 yesterday, I used the "--nomodules" option on install.sh
to only shove out the new beta.  The "hash as a reference is deprecated" complaint
then vanished; I thought Julian had done something new in 4.81.2 to fix it.
Maybe not.  So...  My beta install is still bleeding edge: latest MS, latest
perl modules, latest perl version.  Julian may not be so brave in his beta
release work.
