It unfortunately gave some errors and couldn't complete the process: t/spamd_hup.......................5/110 # Failed test 5 in t/spamd_hup.t at line 43 # t/spamd_hup.t line 43 is: ok (-e $pid_file) or warn "$pid_file does not exist post restart"; log/spamd.pid does not exist post restart at t/spamd_hup.t line 43. Then, I decided to leave the cpan modules as they are and tried to remove and re-install amavisd-new and spamassassin by yum. It run OK. However, when I try sa-update now, I get lots of errors like below: plugin: failed to parse plugin (from @INC): Bareword "Mail::SpamAssassin::Constants::CHARSETS_LIKELY_TO_FP_AS_CAPS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/HeaderEval.pm line 967. Compilation failed in require at (eval 93) line 1. plugin: failed to create instance of plugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HeaderEval: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HeaderEval" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/HeaderEval.pm line 39. Obviously, cpan modules broke the perl integrity on my system. It is time to re-install my server from scratch on. I created this problem by myself. A good lesson for me. I will never ever manually install cpan modules again. It is well beyond my technical capacity. Thank you for your kind support anyway.
