PERL Rollback, Upgraded during OS upgrade, Broke one of the apps running on my droplet.

Posted on September 26, 2014

I’m wondering how I can do a PERL rollback, I updated my vesion of ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04 but PERL was upgrade in the process from 5.14.0 to 5.18.0. IT broke one of my apps. I get the following. Perl API version v5.14.0 of Socket does not match v5.18.0 at /usr/share/perl/5.18/XSLoader.pm line 92.

Ubuntu only ships one version of Perl in each release. Zimbra ships a specific version tied to each Ubuntu release, so generally your best bet is up upgrade to a version with support for the newer Perl version. This article from the Zimbra docs walks you through the process of downloading the new release and running the upgrade script.

If you need to manage multiple versions of Perl, the perlbrew tool can be helpful.
