Download the SRPM from ftp.cobalt.com and in the .spec file leave out the 
patch #2. You can simply comment out that line in the %setup section. 

Then rebuild the RPM. You will have to force the install of the RPM which it 
builds, so distribution of that RPM as PKG file will be kinda tricky.

However: BEFORE you install the new RPM make sure that POP-before-SMTP is 
enabled. If it isn't, then it could be that /usr/local/sbin/poprelayd fails 
to create the database /etc/mail/popip.db

I noticed that if the db is initialized before the new Perl-RPM is installed, 
then POP-before-SMTP can access it fine afterwards.
