Shared object "libperl.so" not found

Another woe when doing an upgrade. This time Exim would fail to start claiming it couldn’t find libperl.so. Help! Still a very quick search turned up a solution that worked perfectly for me (not that I use any cpanel stuff).

There is a command perl-after-upgrade which can be run that cleans up all the Perl paths and bits. Ideally you should run it after doing any Perl port installations.

Running:

/usr/local/bin/perl-after-upgrade

Will just list the changes it wants to make.

/usr/local/bin/perl-after-upgrade -f

Will actually make those changes.
