    Default Orphan perl588installer folder in home dir?

    Hi, I've noticed that after upgrade to cPanel 11.23.3-S25971, apparently orphan files are left in the home folder: /perl588installer/ and /perl588installer.tar.gz. And the question is: can those files using 112 MB be safely deleted or are they neeeded there for some reason?
    Thanks

    Another orphan file?...

    Code:
    # d foo.gz -hlt
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8.3M Jan 28 01:06 foo.gz

# zcat foo -l
         compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
            8665597             8679466   0.2% foo
    It appeared in the same folder as of the perl588installer reported in this post, both after this saturday upgrade to cPanel 11.23.3-S25971.
    Is this another deleteable orphan?

    I have no idea. I've not seen that file before.

    Well, that's very strange since its file creation date is the same than the hour in which the upgrade started.
    May be a collateral download? The compressed file is an 8 MB binary.
    Preventively deleted.
