Probably the writers of the module have decided to use strict references in their programming.
You can do 1 of 2 things:
1. donwgrade back to 0.53.
2. edit the perl source for the new module and disable strict references. There should be a line that says 'use strict;'. Add a line 'no strict 'refs'; under that. Or something down that road. Look at http://perldoc.perl.org/strict.html for more information.

Subject: Problem after upgrade to Net::DNS 0.58
I'm running SA 3.1.5 and this evening upgraded to the above version of
Net::DNS. Since then periodically I've been seeing this in my syslog:
Sep 17 20:27:04 localhost spamd[1126]: Can't use string ("Net::DNS::RR::MX")
as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/RR.pm
line 724.

I upgraded via CPAN and there were no errors noted during the upgrade and
according to the output the install was successfull. All the required
modules are already installed also. Ideas anyone?
