Catching up on old stuff here...

One idea would be to make some very small part of MIMEDefang into a 
CPAN module, and let that module's build script automatically get the 
truly required Perl modules.

This won't reduce the requirements, but it would allow a MIMEDefang 
install to be just "./configure && make" on the MIMEDefang source.
