Note that I don't have any foreign, ie. non ARCH perl packages.

(line breaks by me)

  % urxvt
  urxvt: symbol lookup error:
  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined
  symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr

I moved Util.so elsewhere and urxvt started working again.

But:

  # cpanp
  Data::Dumper object version 2.130_02 does not match
  $Data::Dumper::VERSION 2.126 at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/DynaLoader.pm line 213.

  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/core_perl/cpanp line 11.

out of curiosity, I did:

  # mmv /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/ /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl-old
  `/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/' -> `/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl-old'
  ~
  0 3 # cpanp
  /usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so:

  ~
  # locate -i libperl.so
  (no output)
  ~
  # find /usr/bin/core_perl/ -type f ( -name *libperl* )
  (no output)
