Hi Steve,
Can you let us know what flavor Linux you are running, what version of perl
& SA, and how you are trying to install? For example, I use FreeBSD, then
use the ports collection for everything in that, but since it doesn't have
SpamCopURI, I could either use the CPAN install or the standard download,
make, make install, etc. I use the wrapper program amavisd-new as well with
a postfix mail server, so I have to integrate my SA/SpamCop install into
amavis and that gave me some headaches, but maybe an uninstall & reinstall
of the latest version of SA, make sure other things are up to date too. 

>From the source, here are the needed modules in perl:
use URI;
use URI::QueryParam;
use URI::Escape
use Text::Wrap ();
use Mail::SpamAssassin::EvalTests;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::SpamCopURI;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::HTML;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Received;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Util;
use Mail::SpamAssassin::NetSet;

There may be others needed, but these are obviously needed.
