Running make test in the source dir gives an error msg about not being able to locate a module Time::HiRes. So I DL'd and installed it. "make test" for it passes ok both when run as root and under my user id. However, "make test" for spamassassin only succeeds when I do it as root; my user id is not able to find / see the HiRes module. Owner of the module is root, and I can't see any difference in the permissions for the HiRes module than any of the other modules. The HiRes module is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i586-linux/Time My user id owns all the files in the spamassassin directory. I've noticed that there is a HiRes.so as well as HiRes.pm. I assume that the .pm is what gets called when spamassassin runs as a perl script and that perhaps the .so is used for the spamd daemon. I'm brand new to Perl, so this may be a very simple problem to resolve, but I have no idea what to do. Anyone out there have some input?
