The spamassassin port does require the p5-File-Spec port, but doesn't seem to use it. > I can tell you that spamassassin works without complaint using version > 0.82 (as bundled with perl-5.6.1) or version 0.83 (as bundled with > perl-5.8.0). > > You can install the devel/p5-File-Spec port to get version 0.82 for > the bundled perl, which should sort things out for you. Somehow I don't think that's quite enough. I tried Adrian's suggestion and modified the use statement as follows: use File::Spec 0.82; But that didn't really help, now I get this: procmail: Executing "spamassassin,-a,-P" File::Spec version 0.82 required--this is only version 0.6 at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 6. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 6. procmail: [10564] Thu Feb 6 08:26:02 2003 procmail: Program failure (255) of "spamassassin" procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded Next, I decided to reinstall the port, and I noticed the following: Writing /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto/File/Spec/.packlist ## Differing version of File/Spec.pm found.

Appending installation info to /usr/local/lib/perllocal.pod What's the danger of uninstalling these? Presumably most of what works with 0.6 should work with 0.82, right? Should UNINST=1 always be used? Never? If I do remove a perl module that's part of the base distribution, and something breaks, how would I go about replacing it?
