[PLUG] SpamCannibal Trouble...

[Michael C. Robinson]

Can't call method "closedb" on an undefined value at ./sc_initdb.pl line
66.

I'm running perl 5.8.5 on CentOS 4.x and there are evidently no direct  
upgrades.

I've set up CPAN, but I don't know how to upgrade perl using it.  I've  
tried compiling perl 5.8.6 from source, but there are so many  
confusing questions that I gave up.

I had other problems before I realized that important libraries were  
installed to /usr/local/lib and updated the linker cache.  The  
instructions don't cover the Perl code for SpamCannibal failing the  
tests.  Somewhere online I found a suggestion to ignore that.
