IIRC, F-Prot is free for personal use only.  For commercial use, their 
license requires you to buy the mail scanning version even though the 
command line version is all you need for MailScanner to work.*** 
MailScanner supports 13 or 14 different anti-virus programs, so you have 
plenty of alternatives from companies that want your business.

We use ClamAV but have not upgraded Perl.  We use the command line 
version of Clam; I believe you only need an updated Perl to use 
Mail::ClamAV.
