I am running a Debian stable system and have perl 5.8.4 installed from the Debian packages.
I had a problem with the Net::DNS module a while back and upgrade perl to 5.8.8 using CPAN. This upgrade installed perl 5.8.8 as the default perl version system wide. Unfortunately Debconf is not part of CPAN, so I cannot install it in 5.8.8. Because of this, certain Debian utilities will not work. Is there anyway to tell spamc to use perl 5.8.8 and leave the rest of the system to use the Debian 5.8.4? Both versions are currently on the system. /usr/bin has perl5.8.4 and perl5.8.8 binaries. Currently /usr/bin/perl is the 5.8.8 binary for spamassassin. Will changing the top line of /usr/bin/spamassassin be all that is needed for spamc? Thanks, Dhaval
