Description AMK4 2002-09-09 20:18:22 UTC 
After installing SA 2.41 from source, CPAN generates an error whenever one tries 
to run the 'r' (reinstall recommendation) command:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.63)
cpan> r
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

To fix add

      my $VERSION = 'bogus';     # avoid CPAN.pm picking up following line

to Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

before the line

      if ($Mail::SpamAssassin::VERSION != $req_version) {
