Well, it all depends on how do you have installed SA, and your OS. For instance, many people running Debian or Redhat based systems do it via dpkg-apt (Debian), or rpm-yum (Redhat). Or, on FreeBSD, via the packages system (I'm not very familiar to *BSD, so better to ask somenoe who knows).
I like to biuld and install via the classical "perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install" sequence, but as I said, it all depends on how did you installed SA the first time...

Hope this helps,

Luis
