To provide a data point in the other direction, I'm running 
MIMEDefang/SpamAssassin on three different RedHat 6.2 boxen, and 
they've all got perl 5.00503 installed.  No problems here at all.

I seem to recall seeing a discussion thread on methods of installing 
SA--can't remember if it was this list or SATalk.

Basically, there was a difference between installing SpamAssassin via 
"perl -MCPAN" vs. downloading the source tarball and building it 
manually.  The latter is what I've done.
