cpanel spamd failing (fix)

source: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=50700&highlight=spamd+failed

wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl587installer.tar.gz
tar zxf perl587installer.tar.gz
cd perl587installer
./install

then...

make sure afterwards to :

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules
/scripts/upcp
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Scalar::Util
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Mail::SpamAssassin
/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

I dont know if anyone else has seen this, but I've seen it on a few hundred RedHat boxes. /etc/inputrc line 11 contains a symlinked directories variable which Perl CPAN shell and installs crap out on it...comment it out.
