Are you using SpamAssassin 1.5, or 2.0?  The default installation of 
SpamAssassin 2.0 replaces the use of ::MyMailAudit with 
::NoMailAudit, which is purportedly more efficient, etc. than 
::MyMailAudit (which is just a subclass of Mail::Audit).

According discussions I've been involved with on the SA mailing list, 
the NoMailAudit library doesn't (yet) replicate the data constructor 
which MIMEDefang depends on in order to interface with SA properly.

Specifically including Mail::SpamAssassin::MyMailAudit as you've done 
allows 'Fang to work fine with version 2.0.  Presumably ::NoMailAudit 
will eventually be updated so that it will work, too.
