If you've installed the latest 0.82, it might be possible that the security update messed with @INC and you're not seeing your site_perl early enough. A quick test would be to pull the 0.6 version and see whether spamassassin is happier, but if it's problems with @INC, it's naturally better to fix them if you generally leave the original modules in place when you upgrade into site_perl.
