/scripts/upcp --force Error

[cyc]

Hi

I first noticed this problem when the /scripts/upcp cron was run today and the error below was emailed to me. Also when I run ( /scripts/upcp --force ) I get the error:

root@[/]# /scripts/upcp --force
Array found where operator expected at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/IPC/Open3.pm line 250, at end of line
   (Missing operator before ?)
syntax error at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/IPC/Open3.pm line 250, near "pqsh @close"

I cant run any updates from WHM. Some other things i've noticed nolonger function are webmail, awstats and I see the same errors when restarting cpanel.

I have 3 other cPanel servers, none of them have this problem. Any ideas are appreciated.

I suggest you install/upgrade Perl to the latest version 5.8.7.

I suggest you install/upgrade Perl to the latest version 5.8.7.

I tried using the perl installer from here http://layer1.cpanel.net/ , no luck.

root@www0 [/usr/local/src/perl587installer]# ./install
