UNINST=1 will fix the problem only until the next time you do a
{build,install}world, when the bundled File::Spec module will
reappear. Plus it's not obvious how to get the port system to apply
it when installing a perl module.
The problem is that the location of the updated port is lower down
perl's library search path than the standard libraries. You can see
the search path by:
% perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC), "\n";'
You can prepend directories to the search path by setting PERL5LIB or
PERLLIB in the environment. eg. try:
env PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 spamassassin ...
and see if that lets you find the up to date File::Spec module before
the old one.
You can achieve much the same effect from within perl by inserting:
BEGIN {
unshift @INC, "/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005";
}
at the top of the script, before any of the 'use ...' lines.
About the only other alternative is to install one of perl ports,
which have a sufficiently up to date File::Spec module anyhow.
Cheers,
Matthew

That's something that keeps popping up in various places. You can tell what version of File::Spec you're using by: % perl -MFile::Spec -e 'print "$File::Spec::VERSION\n";' I can tell you that spamassassin works without complaint using version 0.82 (as bundled with perl-5.6.1) or version 0.83 (as bundled with perl-5.8.0). You can install the devel/p5-File-Spec port to get version 0.82 for the bundled perl, which should sort things out for you.

The problem is related with the (implicit) dependency on the p5-File-Spec package. Unfortunately, the splitpath method appeared in a version of the module that is newer than the one bundled with base perl(1). This could be specified in spamassassin with "use File::Spec 0.8;" (or whatever). I worked around the problem installing the p5-File-Spec port by hand. In my opinion, this should be handled properly by the ports system, but couldn't figure out how to fix it myself. :-( Regards To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
More SpamAssassin questions - it won't run.
Hey all. I know this has come up recently, and I've looked at the
pages posted recently. My problem isn't getting it set up in
procmail, it's getting SpamAssassin to execute without errors.
I know, this is just a little OT. Sorry, but this is usually the best
place to get answers on almost anything that even comes into contact
with FreeBSD.
I'm running Sendmail, procmail, and Cyrus Imap.
This is what I have in procmail:
:0fw
* WHITE ?? !yes
* FOLDER ?? !trash
| spamassassin -a -P
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
{ FOLDER=spam }
Setting the FOLDER variable tells deliver which imap folder to put the
message in. deliver gets called later.
Here's what I see in the procmail output:
procmail: Executing "spamassassin,-a,-P"
Can't locate object method "splitpath" via package "File::Spec" at
/usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 38.
procmail: Program failure (2) of "spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
I know this is some kind of perl error, but I'm still quite a ways
from guru status where that's concerned. I've tried a few things, but
I can't get this working.
Here's what I've guessed are the relevant lines:
Line 6:
use File::Spec;
Line 18:
my @bin = File::Spec->splitpath($0);
I don't know why this doesn't work. So far as I can tell the call is
correct.
I've placed this question on the SpamAssassin users list, but no
responses have come up. It's a pretty low traffic list, and it seems
to be a bit slow.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Lou
