Different Perl Issue from Last Night

[jsteel]

On a couple servers, we're getting the following message when going to the 'Install a Perl Module' in WHM to re-install the problematic modules impacted by last night's update:

----------------------------
You do not have IO::Zlib installed. This means you can not read or write compressed archive!
Note: you can disable this warning by invoking Makefile.PL with '-n'
Warning: prerequisite Test::Harness 2.26 not found at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 352.
Test::Harness likes to have Devel::CoreStack, but doesn't require it.
----------------------------

It's only on a few servers. When we try to install IO::Zlib, it kicks back saying the module isn't found. When we try to install Test::Harness, it says it is up to date.

Any ideas?

You probably want Compress::Zlib

Looks like this Zlib issue turned out to be a major wrinkle for most everyone running cPanel. Nothing like having to get an old copy of the .so file and manually redeploying to EVERY server to get cPanel back up and running.

I'd expect this in an EDGE build, but not RELEASE. Quality control really needs to get a tad better.
