You need to upgrade your perl to latest :

]# wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl587installer.tar.gz 
]# tar zxf perl587installer.tar.gz 
]# cd perl587installer 
]# ./install

And then run UPCP again

upgrading Recursive-0.17 to 0.18 solved the problem without updating perl

However, you should still upgrade perl as you'll start having other issues with such an old version as cpan module authors are dropping support for old versions of perl.
