[cPanel-News] Cwd 3.26 Perl Module Advisory

[cPanel Tech Manager]

A recent update of the Perl module PathTools which provides Cwd and  
the File::Spec module namespace introduces usage of Perl 5.10  
functions. This change will result in an undefined symbol error  
similar to:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so:  
undefined symbol: strlcpy

More Information about this problem is available in CPAN's bug  
tracking system: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=32296

On cPanel systems this issue will be immediately evident in the cPanel  
user interface for MySQL, resulting in a failure to display any end  
user databases as well as preventing any modifications to MySQL  
configurations.

This issue has been addressed in the cPanel code base and systems  
running cPanel 11 will be automatically repaired. This issue can be  
manually repaired on cPanel 10 systems by running the following  
commands:

	rm -f /home/.cpcpan/modules.versions
	/scripts/perlinstaller --force Cwd

cPanel recommends updating any systems running versions of cPanel less  
than 11 to the latest available version.

PathTools 3.2501 is latest working version of the module. This version  
can be found on CPAN at the following URL:

http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/PathTools-3.2501/

The direct download URL for PathTools 3.2501 provided by cPanel is:
