perl dependency issue in WHM 62

Miguel G
After upgrading to WHM 62 I can"t update percona-toolkit RPM:
Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package percona-toolkit.x86_64 0:3.0.1-1.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl(Term::ReadKey) for package: percona-toolkit-3.0.1-1.el6.x86_64 percona/filelists_db | 4.4 MB 00:01
The readkey RPM seems to be installed by cpanel:
root@myserver [/root]# rpm -qa |grep TermReadKey cpanel-perl-524-TermReadKey-2.33-1.cp1162.x86_64

    Hello @Miguel G, The following document explains how the Perl environment works in cPanel: Guide to Perl in cPanel - Perl Environments - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation Could you let us know the full output from the update attempt, including the failure message? Thank you.

    Hello, Do you have an entry for "perl*" on the exclude= line in your /etc/yum.conf file? Thank you.

    I do and I know that some people said in the past it was the only way to install perl dependencies in the past, but I was hoping that was changed in the last versions. Is not?

    You should be able to remove the "perl*" entry from the exclude= line in the /etc/yum.conf file. It's no longer required on cPanel systems. Thank you.

    Yes, please remove the "perl*" exclusion entry in your /etc/yum.conf file. Then, try installing the Perl module via YUM instead of through the "rpm -i" command. EX:
    yum install percona-toolkit
    Thank you.
