Steve, I had this problem also. Pulled hair, asked group with no
response. I found that one of the mimedefang glue files was calling the
old perl and after linking the old location to the new everything worked.
I backed up the perl files ( below ) before doing anything... Please note
that the pathnames are for my system, you may need to do some checking.
This is from memory, you mileage may vary...
old perl -> 5.6.0 /usr/bin/
new perl -. 5.8.2 /usr/local/bin
in the old perl directory :
ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl perl
and
ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl.5.8.2 perl.5.6.0
I think that I screwed up by letting perl install itself where it wanted
and I didn't think about the old versions... Of course I don't have a
clue what I broke doing that, but the mail server is happy as can be! I
do remember something about foomatic complaining also after the link fix.
