    Default WHM does not install perl modules to the right place

    I have been searching google and here and cannot find an answer.
    When I do a module installation it acts like it does it but then my perl script does not work.

    cPanel 11.24.5-R38506 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
    Perl5

    I believe it is installing the modules to:
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
    but they don't seem to work there.

    This is not just one module that has this problem it has happened a bunch of times and on other servers I own.

    no, ir acts like it installed it ok.
    I have done this with a bunch of modules.
    They still don't work.
    With image::magick I had to install from ssh.
    I would like to be able to install a module through cpanel like I was suppose to.

    Which interface are you using to install the Perl module?

    Here's what is happening on one of my test servers:

    The Perl Module installer interface ( WHM >> Software >> Install Perl Module ) reports that modules will be installed to /usr/lib/perl. However, the output from a module installation reports the module is actually installed to /usr/local/lib/perl.

    My guess, at this point, is the same thing is happening on your server. I filed a bug report regarding this issue. It's primarily a UI issue as /usr/lib/perl is hard coded in several locations in the UI layer.

    Thanks for your help, and reporting it.

    So until cpanel fixes it there is no work around besides manually loading them through ssh, correct?
