Before someone claims that because CL 6 is based on CentOS 6 doesn't matter because Cent 6 is EOL; CloudLinux 6 is LTS until 2024 and there are a lot of folks running cPanel/WHM who likely found it easier to "upgrade" to CL 6 from Cent 6 rather than upgrade to CentOS 7/8/???. This is what I did, yet another case where proscrastation "paid off". Anyway, this is in reference to the base perl which is not what WHM uses; but there are still likely a fair amount of machines tht will keep 5.10 around simply because of this LTS of CL 6. https://blog.cpanel.com/centos-6-eol-cloudlinux-6-os-and-you/ Cheers, Brett > -FThread Previous | Thread Next
