Sorry the line above is not really useful or debug information.
Possibly you could cut and paste the relevant parts of the installation
process of both MD5 and Digest::MD5.

Like i already mentioned, this is not the right way. Neomail depends
on a working MD5 / Digest::MD5 combo, so you don't need to install
neomail, if the required perl modules are missing/not working.

Yes probably, again you didn't tell us something about your apache log.
In most cases, where a script ends abnormally, you get an error entry
in the log. But as the MD5 / Digest::MD5 problem is not solved,
i suspect, you will find this in your error log.

ACK.

Load the sources and anstall it by
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
and if all is o.k.
make install

or go into your cpan shell by typing:
cpan
and then
install MD5
install Digest::MD5

If you don't have the cpan command on your machine, first download and
install the perl module
Bundle::CPAN

If you really want to "hardcode" the MD5 path, (don't do it !), change
the INC array.

or give me a root shell and i do it for you ;-)
