Perl problems - Cpanel not working

[jimfurtado]

CentOS 6.2, installed 64-bit.

I was having a problem getting Logwatch working on the server as perl could not recognize that a dependency was installed. Additionally I was having problems getting GD to install correctly using Cpanel's easyapache. Threads at Cpanel.net suggested a possible fix was reinstalling Perl. I reinstalled Perl using the suggested Cpanel source at http://layer2.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz.

Since reinstalling Cpanel does not work and I get errors like the following: /scripts/checkperlmodules --full --force
Can't locate XSLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/cpanel /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/Fcntl.pm line 61.

After some research, I find that Centos 6.2 uses Perl 5.10.1, so it seems as though the OS is confused about the right Perl to use.

When I do perl -v, I get:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux

When I do rpm -qa perl, I get:
perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64

Cpanel is no longer working. I can neither update using upcp or access WHM.

Can you suggest a fix?

Set cPanel to stable and perform a upcp. Performing a upcp at Stable sorted issues for me though.

 

[wizzy420]

Same for me.

Newer CentOS 6.2 installs are working

Older CentOS 6.x install just all the sudden up and started going crack out crazy on Perl.

Lots on "expect failed" and "all available perl module install methods have failed"

with tailwatchd, anything cpanel/perl dying left and right.

 

[wizzy420]

Tried d/l perl installer & running, tried a force upgrade ... currently on RELEASE

CentOS 6.2, 64-bit

Also started getting lots of stuff like this in the logs. Doesn't appear to be server/cpu/memory related as it's limited to a single VPS. And it's all perl related stuff that is dying, nothing else.

Think I got it.

After poking around uninstalling & reinstalling modules then a

perl -MCPAN -e shell
upgrade

and a third

/scripts/checkperlmodules --full --force

looks like Perl is finally back

 

[cPanelMichael]

Older CentOS 6.x install just all the sudden up and started going crack out crazy on Perl.

Lots on "expect failed" and "all available perl module install methods have failed"

This can typically be resolved by installing the missing dependency. EX:

# yum install expect-devel

However, anyone experiencing this issue should consider submitting a bug report via:

We prefer to track these types of issues using our internal bug reporting system so we can address this if we find it's happening across several servers.

Thank you.
