Sought regex problem

Hi,

I posted bug 6198 a few weeks ago, and there have been no comments or
fixes on it in two weeks, and I'm unsure what to do next. It's either
not a bug and I'm doing something wrong or it's not significant enough
to bother with the focus on v3.3.

Thought someone might have some ideas here? I'm using perl-5.6. Anyone
else using perl-5.6 with the sought rules?

[13204] dbg: config: read file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002005/sought_rules_yerp_
org/20_sought.cf
[13204] warn: config: invalid regexp for rule __SEEK_D52BRW: / Don\'t want to

This solution will give you the right support for 50$\!$ hours\. Rock-like and
ready to go\. more\x{bb}/: / Don\'t want to lose your potential of a lover\?
Lucky you are, in 21th century all bed-related male problems can be solved by /:

Maybe it's a perl module that's incompatible?

Ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

grep doesn't find __SEEK_D52BRW in my copy of the rules.

If you are running sa-update from a crontab, I'd suggest you check the
timestamp on 20_sought.cf to make sure it's still working.

One problem I've had is that when SA is deinstalled (prior to
[re]installing) the keyring directory gets removed, and so any
additional keys get lost. This may be FreeBSD specific, but I can't
find anything in the port files that might be doing this.

Can't use \x{} without 'use utf8' declaration

comments here: <http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=424745>
suggest moving to perl 5.8x since it does a better job of unicode.

so, don't use perl 5.6, with is not supportable anymore, go to 5.10.

one more thing to consider, perl 5.6 is 9 years old, 5.6.2 is 6 years
old, and SA is going to drop support for it in 3.3

This was from the sa-update when I submitted the bug report.

Thanks to all for the feedback and the update to the bugzilla. I'm in
the process of upgrading perl, but there are still a few applications
that depend on it.

Mark suggested in the bugzilla update that I "change SpamAssassin to
add 'use utf8' into code generated from rules when it sees it is being
run with a pre-5.8 version of perl." How do I do this for the time
being?

Thanks,
Alex

Try the following (for SA 3.2.5). I haven't tested it, but according
to the perl docs this is what is missing:

--- lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Check.pm (revision 819489)
+++ lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Check.pm (working copy)
@@ -271,10 +271,14 @@

my $evalstr = $self->{evalstr};

+ my $needed_utf8_pragma = '';
+ $needed_utf8_pragma = 'use utf8;' if $] >= 5.006 && $] < 5.008;
+
# generate the loop that goes through each line...
$evalstr = <<"EOT";
{
package $package_name;
+ $needed_utf8_pragma;

$self->{evalstr2}
