SA 3.0 install problem

I built and installed SpamAssassin 3.0 on my RedHat EL/WS system.

I built it using the command:

     perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local

I chose to use PREFIX because I'd like to keep everything associated
with SpamAssassin on my /usr/local partition, out of the way of system
upgrades, etc.

The build and install seemed to go without a hitch. However, when I
tried to test it out using the command:

      spamassassin -t < sample-nonspam.txt > nonspam.out

I see the following error:

Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl) at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 80.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 80.

Per the configuration, and the install, the file SpamAssassin.pm was
installed: 

163583   56 -r--r--r--   1 root     root        52629 Sep 21 18:05 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm

I checked the PACKAGING file and didn't seem to indicate I needed to
make any other changes for SpamAssassin to find this file.

Did I miss something?

I apologize if this has already been covered in a previous post, I
tried to use search.gmane.org, but it doesn't seem to be up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
