Summary: Adding SA v3.0.4 to an existing MD v2.52 install breaks MD

Gavin suggested some test:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/mimedefang 5 $ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/mimedefang 6 $ /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for sun4-solaris
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/mimedefang 10 SU # more ./bin/mimedefang.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
[SNIP]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/mimedefang 9 SU # perl -MMail::SpamAssassin -e
'print "installed\n"'
installed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/mimedefang 16 $ perl ./bin/mimedefang.pl -features
MIMEDefang version 2.52
[SNIP]
SpamAssassin : yes
[SNIP]
Mail::SpamAssassin : Version 3.000004
[SNIP]
The last command won't run unless I remove the "Features{'SpamAssassin'}" from
mimedefang-filter. If I leave that in, I get the same error as in my
first message.
Seems to me that MD is using the proper Perl location, that the Perl
installation includes SpamAssassin, and that MD "sees" SpamAssassin. As
you might imagine, given all this, I'm feeling a bit like Alice,
falling down the rabbit hole. I have no idea why SA breaks MD.

What's a good procedure to check this?
