I have been running amavisd-new (2.11.0) under perl 5.24
ever since this version of perl came into ports.

I doubt your problem is specific to perl 5.24, must be
something else. The 'No such file or directory' suggests
to double-check your configured paths (and file permissions).

But I admit I have ditched the use of BerkeleyDB in favour
of a Redis backend to Amavis (and to SpamAssassin), which is much
faster and better behaved. Check the RELEASE_NOTES for configuring.
