What are these "<23>" and "<22>" things?  Are these ASCII characters as 
displayed (i.e. "\x3c\x32\x33\x3e"/"\x3c\x32\x32\x3e") or some kind of raw 
ASCII codes (i.e. "\x23"/"\x22")?

Has the behavior changed when you upgraded libmail-spf-query-perl to 1.999
(.1) or when you upgraded perl to 5.8.8-3?  Or did you upgrade both at the 
same time?

What makes you think this is a bug in libmail-spf-query-perl?
