Learn something new every day,
I didn't know that cpanel had it's own perl install, as mentioned in this thread about perl and cpanel
So I've taken a look at my /usr/lib/perl5/ dir and I do have the above mentioned perls, 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, and 5.0.6. the 0, 1, ans 2 are empty except for a sim pointing to 5.0.3, but the 5.0.3 and the 5.0.6 are full of files. What leaves me wondering is how can I get my system back to perl 5.0.3 with the cpanel version?
Also, I see chirpy, that you're a busy fellow, answering most questions in this forum. We're lucky you're around.

TBH, I'd be tempted to remove all but the one you're running (perl -v to check) and then upgrade perl using:
http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl584installer.tar.gz

perl v 5.0.anything is quite old now and you should be running at least 5.6.1 and preferrably 5.8.*.

well, first off I appologize to binkatl for highjacking your post.

and thanx to chirpy for the solution to my problems, he su'ed into my server and fixed me up real good!
here's his solution:

The problem was that, for some reason, your perl modules in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/File/Spec/* were corrupt. I copied the clean ones from the /root/.cpan/build/perl-5.8.6/lib/File/Spec/ directory and then ran /scripts/rpmup several times until it ran clean. I also cleaned up the old perl installations and reinstalled exim (it gets all upset when you clean up perl and needs to be reinstalled). Restarted exim and spamd is up and running too.

If you find any odd problems coming up, I'd recommend that you do the following (might be a good idea anyway):

/scripts/upcp --force

Thanx a tonne,
