Minimum Perl version for SA 3.0
I just attempted to install a preliminary Rawhide RPM for SA 3.0-pre1 on
Red Hat 8 and got this error:
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0) is needed by spamassassin-3.0-2.pre1
The system has perl-5.8.0-88.3 installed. What's the minimum version of
Perl required for the new SA?

Was that perl installed via rpm, or CPAN?
If from CPAN, the rpm database has no clue what perl is
on the machine.

Actually I'd expect cached DNS queries (including negative
caching of non-mathches) to be quite quick.
One nice thing about using the SURBL version of large SpamAssasin
rulesets (like sa-blaklist used as ws.surbl.org instead) is that
the large rulesets seem to use a lot of memory in SA. Certainly
the memory required to cache some DNS hits is much less.

Which responds, "Error: package 'Net::URI' is not installed." probably
because it isn't a ppm-installed module, it's part of the ActivePerl
distro. I've tried just about everything with PPM to get it to upgrade,
but it simply doesn't. I haven't tried using CPAN or a manual install
yet. I'm just not sure how much trouble it's worth since it seems to be
working fine with the prior version.

Thanks to all those who have worked so hard to get the SURBL project
running. I installed it today on my Windows 2000 server with ActivePerl
5.8.2 and SA 2.63. It complains about URI being one version too old, but
still runs great. (I can't update URI because it's part of the
ActivePerl distro, so I'd have to update ActivePerl, which I'm not
inclined to do at the moment.)
I'm generally pretty gun-shy about installing new modules since Windows
has problems with so many of them, but this one works except for the
open redirect detection, and it's reduced the average processing time
for SA too, which I guess means my processor is too slow since you'd
expect DNS queries to take longer than a few CPU-intensive rules.

Sorry for the confusion, this is Red Hat 8.0, not Fedora. 3.0 installs fine
on Fedora.
I think 8.0 was the last RH distro not to use the new Perl object tokens in
the RPM DB, so the error is probably because the stock Perl in that distro
lacked the new token that the newer rpmbuild looks for.
Probably the least-surprise solution is to rebuild the Perl RPM from source
using the later rpmbuild and bump the release to allow an "update". Of
course, one could also update to a newer Perl at the same time, but that's
always risky for the enterprise folks.

No, it's still 5.6.1. The above is a very obvious Fedora RPM issue.

I strongly suspect the above error is simply an RPM-ish issue.
Let's face it, the RPM is telling you that you need perl 5.8.0, and you've
got 5.8.0... Somewhere RPM is confused about what version of perl you've
got installed.
Try building from tarball, if for no other reason than to confirm that it's
an issue with RPM not SA's lack of compatibility with your version of perl.

A few months ago, I was told by Theo that perl-5.6.1 was minimum needed.
Has this changed...???
I have not yet tried to install the 3.0-prel and prefer to wait for the
production release.
Am running FBSD-4.10 and not Linux.
