 Obviously, "Makefile.PL" is newer than "Makefile". If you look at the files
 in work/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.2/ with "ls -1t Makefile*", you
 will see them in the order
 
   Makefile.PL
   Makefile
   Makefile.PL.orig
 
 Can you tell me the output you get from 
   stat -f '%m'  Makefile Makefile.PL
 ?
 
 My guess is. the modification time differs at least 1 second between the
 two files. For me, there is no difference and that's why I didn't see
 the problem before. "make" seems to need at least a difference of 1
 second to detect that "Makefile" is outdated.
