    Hello

    I found out that Mail::SPF is failing. When checked, its because the server is using the latest version of perl 5.8.8 and looks like Mail::SPF is no longer compatible and it is compatible only to 5.6

    What do you think the solution for this?

    I'm unable to install Mail::SPF either. Running 11.25.0-RELEASE_42399

    Here is the output from /scripts/checkperlmodules

    well, you have to install the module manually as it looks like some kind of a bug. Download the mail::spf module from cpan.org and install.

    Even manually it doesn't work.

    Tried to change version nummers in the tarball but then a complaint about signatures.

    Yeah. It seems somehow an incompatible version of Mail::SPF got into the update chain.

    Anyone have other ideas for a fix?

    I've split the posts about Mail::SPF into a new thread dedicated to the separate issue.

    I was able to reproduce this on a test system by uninstalling Mail::SPF then attempting to re-install; further investigation will be needed to determine the exact cause, but I was able to confirm a set of steps you may use for re-installing the "Mail::SPF" Perl module.

    Please use the following command to perform the install:
    Code:
    # perl -MCPAN -e "get('Mail::SPF')" && cd /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JM/JMEHNLE/mail-spf && tar -xzvf Mail-SPF-v2.007.tar.gz && cd Mail-SPF-v2.007 && perl Build.PL && ./Build && ./Build test && ./Build install && /scripts/checkperlmodules --full
    As an alternative, to help clarify the steps used by the above command, here is each step on its own line:
    Code:
    # perl -MCPAN -e "get('Mail::SPF')"
# cd /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JM/JMEHNLE/mail-spf
# tar -xzvf Mail-SPF-v2.007.tar.gz
# cd Mail-SPF-v2.007
# perl Build.PL
# ./Build
# ./Build test
# ./Build install
# /scripts/checkperlmodules --full

    This worked perfectly. Mail::SPF 2.007 now installed on my 11.25 system. Thank you!

    Looks like that's not enough here. however If you got any errors about dependency, type this command

    Code:
    ./Build installdeps
    before

    Code:
    ./Build

    Thanks!

    I got the same problem on my cpanel server. Last night, the datacenter accidentally wiped out the wrong drive and I ended up reinstalling cpanel. It seems that when I dropped the backup of the cpanel directory into the restored server, this error cropped up. The solution above fixed it and a bunch of other errors I was getting related to spamassassin.

    Details:
    cPanel 11.25.0-R42399 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9
    CENTOS 5.4 i686 standard on int

    error MAIL::SPF Could not be installed --> how to resolve?

    I am getting notification even after re-installing perl modules that MAIL::SPF could not be installed

    see the logs below:

    This module is required by cPanel, and the system may not function correctly until it is installed, and functional. Below is the results of the auto-install attempt:

    Error installing perl module Mail::SPF

    Cpanel was complaining about the perl version to install perl module Mail::SPF.

    Can't locate Mail/SPF.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at - line 1.

    Perl version was 5.8.5, upgraded to 5.8.8 without problem.

    Tried to install Mail::SPF from whm install perl modules, but get the same error.

    upgraded Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable to version 0.003

    tried again, same error.

    Is there a solution?
