years back i used FuzzyOcr to combat image spam, I stopped using it 
after some time went by.  Over the last month or 2 I have seen a huge 
increase in drug spam, bed event type emails, so I went to install 
FuzzyOcr again.  I have migrated to the newer perl 5.10, and this is the 
first problem I have seen.  After the FuzzyOcr install failed, I went to 
the stage it broke, trying to install that individual stage.

[root at numail ~]# pkg_add -r !$
pkg_add -r ImageMagick

Done.
pkg_add: package 'perl-5.8.9_2' conflicts with perl-5.10.0_2
pkg_add: please use pkg_delete first to remove conflicting package(s) or 
-f to force installation
pkg_add: pkg_add of dependency 'perl-5.8.9_2' failed!

Is there a better solution to the image spam problem now?
