The versions of the perl-packages it depends on are hardcoded into the
installer-script. You'd need to change these to the newest versions, since it
seems that CountZero, the CSCMail Maintainer doesn't do it anymore...to be
hones, I don't know if development is continuing on CSCMail (How far is the
C-Version grown CZ?). I don't know if it downloaded the packages and only
unpacking them failed or if it needs the correct version number to download it.
You may find the version numbers on CPAN. I can't tell you much more, cause I'm
not really into perl.

By the way: I suggest you use the CVS Version of CSCMail. Cause 1.6.1 has a Y2K
issue and some other things. The easiest way to do that is to install 1.6.1
first, which will install you all the packages it depends on, and then checkout
and install CVS. I'm not sure, but if I remember exactly, this is done by a
simple "make install" in your local copy of the CVS-Version.
