If Debian 3.1 installs a new version of Perl, I would guess that's the
issue. Mail::SpamAssassin is probably installed on the old Perl. Since
Debian has a policy of not updating major versions of packages on
"stable" releases, I would guess that SA is probably installed from
source rather than through APT.
Bottom line: you probably need to reinistall Mail::SpamAssassin
(preferably through the same mechanism it was last installed by, be it
apt-get, CPAN, or source).
Real bottom line: ask your sysadmin not to do major upgrades just before
leaving! (Despite the version numbering, Debian 3.0 to 3.1 is a major
upgrade. I seriously expected it to be Debian 4.0.)
