Hi all,
I tried to install Mail::SpamAssassin via Perl CPAN on a relatively
fresh install of macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra. Make test stalls
indefinitely. Can anyone offer suggestions what I should do?
Be grateful, you dodged a bullet :)
Apple's idiosyncratic Perl installation has historically been intolerant
of user installation of additional modules or updates of existing
modules. Maybe High Sierra breaks with that tradition, but I doubt it.
For people who do not want to pay the small price for Server, MacPorts
or Homebrew are great alternatives for building a distinct environment
of open source software (including, if you want, a current and less
pathologically configured Perl environment) and can install SpamAssassin
functionally.
