Hello everyone, After contacting our dedicated hosting companies to upgrade Perl to the latest version 5.18.1 they said cpanel does not support latest versions of Perl and any upgrade will lead to problems with cpanel/whm. However we installed the latest version of Perl 5.18.1 from the source and also installed all modules and Modern perl modules and all sites and even cpanel/whm working normal without any single issue. Here are the steps we did: Download the latest Perl release, currently 5.18.1 from [url=http://www.perl.org/get.html]Perl - Download - www.perl.org and decompress it. % wget

  Hello :) Per our documentation: As of cPanel & WHM version 11.36, we distribute a 3rd version of Perl located at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/514/bin/perl. In addition, we have changed the Perl scripts that we distribute with cPanel & WHM to use this version of perl. These scripts include the cPanel system maintenance scripts (in /usr/local/cpanel/scripts) and in CGI scripts in cPanel & WHM. This change allows you to manage your system's Perl binary independently of cPanel & WHM. Ultimately, you can no longer expect all of the same modules to be installed into @INC for the system's Perl binary located at /usr/bin/perl in cPanel & WHM 11.36. Thank you.
