Re: Make test fails installing Storable (t/croak) for SA 3.0.2 upgrade

Looking at the Storable code, that bug only occurs if you try to build 
Storable on Perl 5.005_03.

It appears that 5.005_03 is what FreeBSD 4.9 ships with.

However, it's not worth trying to work around this problem, as SpamAssassin 
3.x does not support perl versions prior to 5.6.1.

It looks like you're going to have to upgrade perl, or your version of 
freebsd, before upgrading SA.

Using the FreeBSD PORT version of the Perl modules is the best way to do
things for FreeBSD. So, I'll proceed down that road. 

Thanks for your help.

If I do a perl -v I find that I'm using:

This is perl, v5.8.2 built for i386-freebsd

I wonder why CPAN is trying to use the wrong PERL. I know that PERL 5.005_03
ships with FreeBSD 4.9, but I've installed the newer perl and used the
command to switch PERL to use the PORT install instead of the SYSTEM
install. 

I guess I have to research why CPAN tries to use the SYSTEM perl. I'll
report back what I find. Thanks for helping me to uncover what's happening.
