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,}” -- Joey Pabalinas

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 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.

What were all packages you reinstalled after deleting /usr/lib/perl5/ and /usr/share/perl5/?

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. On Thu, 6 Jul 2017, Hunter Jozwiak wrote:
