CPAN broken after update to cPanel 58

EDIT: After some looking, this must've happened during the WHM 56->58 migration. After migrating to EA4, I got a message about broken RPMs for spamassassin and munin. Figured I'd try installing them via command line cpan, instead of running the script, and I get this: root@rwh [~]# cpan -bash: /root/perl5/bin/cpan: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/514/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory On my test machine, with fresh 58 and EA4, it runs just fine. Installing and removing perl modules via the UI works fine, but I'm afraid some script will break if this isn't fixed. Any suggestions?

  Hello, Check with the rpm commands to see if the package is still there in the server or else use an UPCP available in the cPanel scripts and see if that resolves the issue.

  Thanks for the info. I've verified that the package is installed, even went as far as reinstall it with rpm and uninstall/reinstall with yum. upcp ran fine, too. If I knew where cpan is picking up that path, I could change it by hand. I've tried grepping /usr and /home, but didn't find it. Will do some more digging, later. Perl got moved from 5.14 to 5.22 in 56, so I reckon I just haven't used cpan since then.

  I went ahead and did a ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/522/bin/perl /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/514/bin/perl as an interim workaround until the issue is resolved.

  Hello, Keep in mind that "cpan" is not a tool utilized to install RPMs via the command line. Instead, the "check_cpanel_rpms" script is used to install missing cPanel RPMS:

  I've opened ticket 7609441. PS: System perl is fine, just cpan is looking for 514 when 522 is there. root@rwh [~]# perl -v This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi (with 29 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

  The Cpanel tech determined that the cpan executable was from an old install and didn't do well without that perl 514 dir. The fix was easy, since the cpanel-provided cpan existed: rm -f the extraneous cpan.
