The upcoming release will include perl 5.14.3 provided as a set of RPMs installed to the prefix /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/514. We are working to step away from messing with /usr/bin/perl since it breaks what CentOS can and can't install. We will ship a patched version of Storable based on 2.39 (2.40 is just a doc release, right?). The Storable module will behave identical to 2.39 by default. We will maintain the patches in our perl until we find a way to get off storable all together. We did consider changing the name space but this was problematic for other reasons. Anyway the patched Storable in 11.36 will be clearly to cPanel perl and /usr/bin/perl will revert to what CPAN provides.Thread Previous | Thread Next
