Cant install any perl modules...

[4u123]

CPAN: checksum security checks disabled because Digest::SHA not installed.
Please consider installing the Digest::SHA module.

If I try and install Digest::SHA It simply returns the exact error.

Catch 22 !

 

[blakeblake]

try an upcp --force and that will likely install the missing modules.

Good Luck!

You need to update the perl version of the server to the current one 5.8.7.

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

Then run upcp:
/scripts/upcp --force

This should fix your issues.
