Let me rephrase a mail I already sent out to several lists :)

First problem:

Digest::MD5 seems to have wandered into the perl core distribution as of
perl 5.8. perl 5.8.0 includes version 2.20 (as you already have found
out), it should work with perl-5.8.1, which includes version 2.27, but
RedHat doesn't ship that with RHEL3.

Second problem:

You might be able to build your own Digest::MD5 with a different PREFIX
setting or INSTALLDIRS setting for your machine (perl Makefile.pl
PREFIX=3D/your/path). But I have yet to find out, how to tell amavisd to
use a different @INC without touching the code. You could follow the
perl way and set INSTALLDIRS to "vendor" or "site" though.

But that leads us directly to the=20

Third problem:

(@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .)

=2E../site-perl/ is far down in that path, so every module living in there
won't get included, if there's a module of the same name somewhere
earlier in that path. Same goes for vendor_perl. And that is the problem
here.

BTW: @INC in RedHat just sucks as there's no possibility to override
core modules in perl. The problem with that is upstreams @INC which is
exactly the same.

I toyed around with "PERL5LIB=3D/path/to/my/MD5" in the amavisd-new init
script, but that somehow was silently ignored.=20

If someone knows a solution around this, please feel free to share.
