Safe to uninstall default Perl Modules?
Hi cPanel,
I noticed today that there are a number of default Perl modules installed along with cPanel/WHM (located under Home > Software > Install a Perl Module) which I'm 50% certain I wouldn't require.
Is there any danger from removing them? Does cPanel itself rely on them in any way? I know SpamAssassin is a Perl program so thinking of this and others when asking about dangers.
Thanks in advance.

I would not suggest removing anything the cPanel installer installs. 0 -
Hello Matt, The following documents include information about the multiple Perl environments on cPanel & WHM servers: Guide to Perl in cPanel - Modules and Scripts - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation You can manage the server's Perl binary (this is separate from the cPanel-included Perl installation) using WHM's 0 -
Thanks! Happy with the responses as solution. Good point about the OS requiring them. I don't think I can know for sure so will leave them as is :) 0 -
