Is there a cPanel-related reason why using File::Copy or File::Copy::Recursive within Perl throws an error that permission is denied? I've been working on this for two days and can't find a reason why it's not working, the only thing I can think is maybe there's a security setting on the server...

We have a series of ancient CGI scripts (behind members firewall). Until the last month or so, we never had an issue with these scripts. Now, on a regular basis the scripts appear to get stuck and hog up the cpu, using more and more PIDs. The scripts still seem to be doing what they should, but...

I was surprised to see that cPanel's installation of mod_fcgid doesn't have Perl configured out of the box, given usually cPanel's Perl base. I was able to enable it simply enough, though, by adding `AddHandler fcgid-script .fpl` to the `<IfModule fcgid_module>` declaration in...

After installing ea-nginx, I've noticed that I've lost $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} in Perl (or rather it just shows me the server's IP address and I can't grep my way through the server's Apache error_log because there are no IP Addresses recorded. Is there a cPanel officially supported way to fix this...

Hi, I've been working at setting up a local development server to give my older sites a refresh. They're coded in PERL CGI. I've got everything working from the DEV environment, but the script reference to "use cPanelUserConfig.pm" isn't something I'm sure how to navigate. It was a...

Hi cPanel, I noticed today that there are a number of default Perl modules installed along with cPanel/WHM (located under Home > Software > Install a Perl Module) which I'm 50% certain I wouldn't require. Is there any danger from removing them? Does cPanel itself rely on them in any way? I...

I have several accounts on my server that belong to me. I'm running WHM / cPanel v. 76.0.20 on a CentOS 6.10 xen hvm machine, and Perl v. 5.10.1. (I know, I need to upgrade, but it's a huge pain so I'm procrastinating). In 2014, I set up a lot of my smaller sites to use Perl .lib files on my...
