upgrading to 3.0 from 2.64 note

2004-12-19 Thread Jeremy Kister
I recently upgraded my spamassassin 2.64 to 3.02 on three machines (two Solaris, one FreeBSD). The Solaris installs went according to the upgrade notes/wiki, but the FreeBSD machine was a bit different, in that It required the Storable module from CPAN. once I installed it, it went smooth. just

Hi, 3.0 requires a higher version of Perl than 2.63 did. I don't recall the exact version required, but I know it is somewhere in the release or upgrade notes. Vague memory says that maybe 5.6.2 was the magic number; but that could be wrong. I just checked it - 5.61 is sufficient, according to
