Hi gang,
I got bit by Perl this morning after I did an update. I got an error about having a handshake error with ListUtil.c, and I don't know how to resolve this error. I can't open cpan, launch Chromium, and I'm not sure what all else is broken at this point. Can someone help me towards a solution?
Thanks,
Hunter

Is this the error you're getting? https://pastebin.com/sfLRHtCq If this is the case, your packages seem to be in an inconsistent state. Your mirror may have only partially synced, so if you -Syu throughout the day or choose a different mirror the problem should sort itself out on its own.
cheers! mar77i

If you have a ~/perl5/lib from using CPAN, files using the wrong Perl version in there may also be causing this error; try:
“mv ~/perl5/lib{,-bak}”
to see if this is the cause. If this doesn't work, you can easily revert the change with:
“mv ~/perl5/lib{-bak,}”

I was able to get rid of the problem by deleting /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/share/perl5 and reinstalling all packages. I also deleted the Perl directory in my home directory, and all things are working nicely. Hope this helps someone if they have this problem in the future.
What were all packages you reinstalled after deleting /usr/lib/perl5/ and /usr/share/perl5/?

What I did wasn't perfect but works well enough for now. After removing both directories I was able to run cpan with no problems. The cpanp command came up with errors on several missing packages. I used cpan to reinstall those missing packages and now have cpanp working as well as cpan. I figure with the two of those perl installation and update programs working should a problem arise in the future I'll probably be able to fix it with one of the utilities.

All the packages on the system.
I hadn't installed that many packages with cpan but found most of them came from archlinux repositories so reinstalling the packages whether up to date or not fixes this particular problem over here.

One of the comments I read on a few perl packages being updated by amish was to update to pgrel=2 to force a recompile. That may have been pgrel=3. I'd like to know how to do that with perl myself. Maybe that will help.
