I am trying to get spamassassin to work at another BSD account (sdf).
I am supposed to start compiling by typing
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME
if my account is /home/user
What do I put instead of $HOME if it is /arpa/gm/k/keesan?
I tried various things and none of them worked.

I had it working but they made some changes to mail (and maybe removed a 
system-wide SpamAssassin.pm?) and it broke my spamassassin, and I tried 
to recompile and reinstall, so I don't know whether the files in my 
directories now are new or old, but there is a ~keesan/bin/spamassassin 
and a ~keesan/.libs/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm  

Spamassassin cannot find the latter and is looking in /usr/pkg/.... 
(various directories which are in @INC.)  Probably it got compiled 
wrong.  I can post parts or all of it and the instructions here.

I did a web search for help and tried
export PERLLIB=~/.libs
export PERL5LIB=~/.libs
set...

Command line or in .profile.  To tell spamassassin where to look.  But 
probably it should be compiled to look where the file is instead.

I know nothing about perl and really just want a quick fix, not an 
education right now.

Has anyone dicked around with the Perl module "Dancer"? From what I have
read in the perldocs on CPAN.ORG and in the Cookbook, it looks pretty
straightforward and easy to use. Any gotchas? Are things like port and
protocol (HTTP vs HTTPS) configurable, or do you have to do that with
Apache or Squid or balance in front of it?
