$Mail::SpamAssassin::VERSION wrong

Ive got SpamAssassin installed on three different machines, all 
installed using CPAN.  I've just noticed a strange problem that only 
exists on one of the machines.  Running spamassassin -V returns 
'SpamAssassin version 2.63', but calling $Mail::SpamAssassin::VERSION in 
a perl script reports '2.01'.

Also, CPAN always thinks there is a new version of SpamAssassin, even if 
the one I just successfully installed it 5 minutes prior.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?  Does anyone know where this 
variable is stored, and whether SpamAssassin is running somehow "half 
baked" on that system?

Thanks in advance.

Sure.  Find and destroy the old version. ;)

I'd run "perl -V", get the list of @INC directories, then run "find [dir]
-name SpamAssassin.pm".  Look at the results, and blow away the one(s)
you don't want.

Arguably, I'd blow away all installed SA-related files, and reinstall 2.63
(or whichever version you want) from scratch.

Hrm, suboptimal.

My guess is you have multiple versions installed, with "spamassassin"
looking at one area (2.63 installed), and general perl looking at a
different area (2.01 installed).
