Perl version question

on my server here is what I am seeing.

I type ls /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/
and get back 5.6.1 so for all intents and purposes I should have 5.6.1 as my version of perl correct?

But when I open cpanel I see Perl Version 5.006 and when cpanel updates I get this error..find: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/: No such file or directory
which is true because there is a dir called 5.6.0..

So what is going on anyone got a clue? Do I need to delete some other versions of perl and how do I direct cpanel to update the proper dir?

 

Thanks for that

I have read a few other post where some to seem to be having major problems with this update. Have you done it, anything I need to do special? Got any suggestions or directions on how to do this upgrade. I am rather new to Cpanel so don't want to screw it up to start out with.

Thanks

 

scripts/fixperl

Well I ran that and it did upgrade my perl but then my cpanel updates broke then Neomail quit working see my post above..

Then I got this answer from Nick.

& fixperl is only for redhat 5.2 systems, it should never be used on
newer systems. I'd recommend reinstalling perl using the
perl561installer.tar.gz from layer1.cpanel.net'

So in short don't use fixperl, I found out the hard way.
