Amavis problem

Question

Hi,
I have updated my server today with security update 2009-001 as well as 10.5.7.
Amavis has crashed as expected but I cannot get it working. Here is the error message:
nemo:~ admin$ amavisd

I have updated the missing required modules via CPAN and all seems to install fine apart from the last line, not sure if this is the key...
cpan[11]> force install MIME::Decoder::Gzip64
Running install for module 'MIME::Decoder::Gzip64'

Writing /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/MIME/tools/.packlist
Appending installation info to /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/darwin-2level/perllocal.pod
DONEILL/MIME-tools-5.427.tar.gz
make install -- OK
Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state
Once all the modules have been installed I tested amavis again and got the same result. Doesn't seem to update or look for the right modules.
Bit lost there...
Thanks in advance
Ben

Ok, seems that Perl is looking at the wrong place. Not sure if that's the correct way to put it but here it is:
nemo:~ admin$ perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC)'
/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9
/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/darwin-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9
In the logs, it's talking about perl 5.8.8
That should be why it's not working, just need to understand how to get it to look at the right place now...
If anyone...
