I do remember seeing these problems reported, but for the life of me, I
can not reproduce them. I use 5.8.9 in production, and get 20 to 40
thousand messages a day scanned without a problem. I am setting up a new
server, and I will try 5.10 on that and see how things go.
There seems to be some kind of include problem with this version of perl
on freebsd and mailscanner. I am not sure what exact condition triggers
the issue, but enough people have complained about this. As of now I am
unable to run mailscanner on any of my systems with perl 5.8.9, which
version are you using?

Upgrading perl can indeed be a pain, as this problem shows, however i am
not a perl programmer and i don't know how to address this issue. Perl
5.10 seems to work great. Since no one has addressed this and Jan does not
seem to maintain this anymore, i took the initiative to update the port,
as i needed a new version. This is the latest version, which is labeled as
beta. It seems to be running just fine here, but it would be nice if more
people could test it.

In production, I am using the official 4.75 FreeBSD port, which I
submitted the patches for so if it is messed up it is probably my fault
;) I've also used 4.77 without problem, and very briefly tested 4.78. If
people are having trouble and the port could strongly recommend using
5.10 that might be better. Doing a quick scan of /usr/ports, I didn't
find any ports that specifically required 5.10+.
I am not a perl programmer either, but if you want to take this port and
upgrade it, I would be happy to help or test. I'm not sure what the
status is of the listed maintainer.
