И pod2man оказался вовсе ни при чем (хотя на всякий случай из Инета скачан и обновлен podlators-1.27).
SpamAssassin версии 3.0.0
Как говорится, если ничего не помогает, то RTFM :)
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.0/INSTALL писал(а):Note for Perl 5.8 Users (incl Red Hat 8 )
----------------------------------------
Perl 5.8 now uses Unicode internally by default, which causes trouble for
SpamAssassin (and almost all other reasonably complex pieces of perl
code!).
We've worked around this in most places, as far as we know, but there may
still be some issues. In addition, there is a speed hit, which it would
be nice to avoid.
Setting the LANG environment variable before any invocation of
SpamAssassin sometimes seems to help fix it, like so:
export LANG=en_US
Notably, the LANG setting must not include "utf8". However, some folks
have reported that this makes no difference.
Разумеется, в RH9 стоит Perl 5.8 и
Код: Выделить всё
# set
...
LANG=en_US.UTF8
...
Кстати, аналогичная проблема имеется и при обновлении модуля ExtUtils::MakeMaker (Makefile там нормальный, но вот 'make test' выдает кучу ошибок).
