warning at startup Argument "0.70_01" isn't numeric in numeric

Hello,
SA (3.1.1) is running on my shared server account (HostGator) - 

When I start SA from the cpanel I receive this warning:
Jul  2 12:37:19.789 [12601] warn: Argument "0.70_01" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 645.

Can anyone help?  Any ideas?  Is this warning something I need to worry about?  SA is not working very well for me.

greg

Back on the list:

The code is:

  if ($Net::DNS::VERSION < 0.34) {
         warn("dns: Net::DNS version is $Net::DNS::VERSION, but need 0.34");
         return $IS_DNS_AVAILABLE;
       }

a version with _01 implies a development version.  I would open a ticket 
with Hostgator and ask them to upgrade to a stable release of Net::DNS 
not a developer release.  Otherwise, you can ignore the error but it 
might be disabling the DNS tests which could impact SA's effectiveness.

It sounds like someone is using a version of Net::DNS that is a 
developer version but overall a version 3.1.1 of SA is really out of 
date.  I have no good comments except to upgrade.
