I would seriously take a shot at using the
latest 5.8.x ActivePerl build. I known the openhandhome site still recommends
using the older ActivePerl 5.6.1 release, but there are a number of bug fixes in
the 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 releases that impact SpamAssassin's
stability.
The last I discussed the recommendation with
Michael Bell (the author of the openhandhome tutorial), he said he had
documented cases where ActivePerl 5.8.6 (at the time) caused problems where
5.6.1 did not. I'm not sure whether those cases have been reported and fixed (or
why they hadn't been previously). I just know from my own experience that
SpamAssassin is much more stable in my environment using the latest ActivePerl
release that it is with 5.6.1.

Hi,
after downloading and
installing ActivePerl 5.6.1.638 on a Windows2003 box, and carefully following
instructions on how to install SA (I have installed version 3.1.0), it fails
when testing with:
spamassassin -D <
sample-spam.txt
with the following
error:
// D:\Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0>spamassassin -D <
sample-nonspam.txt "EADDRINUSE" is not exported by the Errno module at
lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsRes olver.pm line 45 Can't continue after
import errors at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsResolver.pm line 45 BEGIN

75. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line
75. Compilation failed in require at spamassassin line 77. BEGIN

what am I
doing wrong? I carefully followed instructions at www.openhandhome.com/howtosa300.html
thanks
in
advance,
Marcantonio
