I am having a problem with the Net::DNS module. It just hangs up when trying

try to reinstall the module it fail the make test. How did you solve the
problem?

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?
spamc couldn't care less what version of Perl is on your system since
it's written in C.
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.

In my experiences with install from scratch, there is an order in which
the perl modules need to be installed in. here is the order I found
best....
Digest::SHA1
HTML::Parser
libwww-perl-5.805
needs - HTML::Tagset
Net::DNS
needs - Digest::HMAC_MD5
Net::IP
IO::Socket::INET6
needs - Socket6-0.19
Mail::SPF::Query
needs - Net::CIDR::Lite
Sys::Hostname::Long
URI::Escape
IP::Country
Razor2
razor-agents-sdk-2.07
Archive::Tar
needs - IO::Zlib
Compress-Zlib-1.41
Net::Ident
IO::Socket::SSL
LWP::UserAgent
HTTP::Date
-------------------------------------------------
I hope I have this right.... :/
