Hi,

Perl 5.24, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos.

For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`.

Since users probably installed some from AUR or with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[1] that generates a local rebuild list. To use it you will also need this[2].

Note that: - some modules simply don't support being loaded directly (Irssi, SVN::_Core, Tk::Entry among others) so also run the test (`perl -M$module -e1`) manually before reporting. - site_perl overrides vendor_perl so if you fix an error for a module in site_perl you have to run the script again afterwards.

Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can use lddd from devtools to find those.

Please report any issue you encounter.
