I run two mail gateways, one 4.7 and one 4.6.2, both with MIMEDefang and SpamAssassin so there are a lot of Perl modules installed. I recently portupgraded one and now I see the following from the mail log file: >Oct 29 15:53:33 highland mimedefang-multiplexor: Starting slave 3 (pid = 95931) (1 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves (2) >Oct 29 15:53:34 highland mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 3 stderr: syntax = error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/MIME/Field/ParamVal.pm line= 65, near "require v5.6" BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted= at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/MIME/Field/ParamVal.pm line 68. = BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at = /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/MIME/Head.pm line 124.

In /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/MIME/Field/ParamVal.pm I see ># System modules: >require v5.6; whereas this was not present in the previous version. I do not have Perl 5.6 on either machine, yet the portupgrade went through fine. Does anyone know whether it's safe to just remove this line, or whether this module really does need Perl 5.6??
