    During cPanel update i get a huge list of dependency errors. The question is, do I need to do something about it, and how do I do it?

    I checked to see if /usr/bin/perl existed... and it does.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    You're seeing the problem because of the way rpm dependencies work. Because the perl rpm wasn't installed (it was done only from source) other packages that need perl don't think it is installed either (as it doesn't appear in the rpm database) and so it borks.

    How you do that depends on your OS. But you can do it by downloading the perl rpm from your OS repository and then install that rpm using:

    rpm -Uvh --justdb perl*.rpm

    For example, for RHEv4/CentOSv4 you could use:

    rpm -Uvh --justdb http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4.i386.rpm

    The perl dependency issues should then go away.

    I ran

    That seems to have fixed it so far.

    That's not a good idea as you've now overwritten the cPanel installed perl installation with all the correctly installed perl modules with an older version of perl. I'd recommend reinstalling perl 5.8.7/5.8.8 using the tarball from layer1.
