What's wrong with just installing from CPAN in this case?
https://metacpan.org/pod/Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ExtractText I guess you didn't notice that you are actually installing SpamAssassin 4.0.0, since that's what you are looking at from CPAN? It's part of the official SA package starting from 4.0.0, not a standalone plugin. With luck the plugin will work even on 3.4 without troubles, but uhh yeah..
