When I try to update SpamAssassin, it says it has the latest version.

# cpanm Mail::SpamAssassin
Mail::SpamAssassin is up to date. (3.004004)

However, the latest version says it is 3.4.4. https://metacpan.org/release/Mail-SpamAssassin How do I update SpamAssassin to the latest version? Regular cpan also said it was up-to-date.

CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

SpamAssasin $VERSION format

$VERSION 3.004004 means version 3.4.4.
Spamassassin encodes this way three positive integers into single number.

You can check "raw source" at metacpan.org. Its contains $VERSION = "3.004004"; and mentions 3.4.0 as previous version in embedded documentation.

https://metacpan.org/pod/Mail::SpamAssassin ->
https://metacpan.org/release/Mail-SpamAssassin/source/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm

KMCGRAIL / Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.4 / lib / Mail / SpamAssassin.pm
[…]
our $VERSION = "3.004004"; # update after release (same format as perl $])
[…]
Prior to version 3.4.0, calling srand() was handled by the SpamAssassin library.
