Perl not updated after cPanel upgrade

[Michael Pfaff]

I've updated to WHM 60.0 (Build 25), however my Perl version is still showing as 5.10.1.

How can I update Perl to the latest version?

Thanks!

Mike

Hello,

The system's Perl version relates to the version published with your operating system. Perl 5.10 is installed on CentOS 6, CloudLinux 6, and RHEL 6, and Amazon Linux, and Perl 5.16 is installed on on CentOS 7, CloudLinux 7, and RHEL 7.

This is documented at:

Guide to Perl in cPanel - Perl Environments - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Maybe it isn't my Perl version causing the issue then. I'm running into an error when I try to install intltool - it says require: perl(xml::parser), but I have XML Parser installed and updated to latest version (2.44).

Any insight?

Hello,

Could you let us know the specific steps/commands you are using when attempting the installation?

Thank you.

Yes, I have tried installing from WHM using Install an RPM and selecting intltool. I get this error:

           Requires: perl(XML::Parser)

Install complete.

I've also tried via command line using "yum install intltool" and get the same error.

Im wondering if it's related to this: vendor2.nginfotpdx.net/gitlab/ypp/poky/commit/a61eb1f844814daf525d1db250194ea186c35e71

And if so, how can I bypass that?

Hello,

Try running the following command instead of using WHM and let us know the results:

yum install intltool

It should allow you to confirm the dependency requirement for the perl-XML-Parser package.

Thank you.
