I am having a problem with the Net::DNS module. It just hangs up when trying to resolve a domain to get the TXT data for SPF tests in spanassassin. If I try to reinstall the module it fail the make test. How did you solve the problem?

All the other programs that ship with SA (spamassassin, spamd, sa-update, etc) are written in Perl. If you want those programs to use a different perl (and I would suggest they all use the same perl), yeah, you can change the shebang line to point at a different perl. Daryl
