Perl 5.22 update breaks numerous things. [SOLVED]

Hi was looking to see if anyone else is suffering or has fixed this issue after a recent update, im getting numerous failures in package launches or builds with the error:

perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

ive searched the forum and google and the few links ive found have not been helpful, ive also reinstalled perl wich did not help, any help would be much appreciated.

edit: solved by uninstalling the owning pacakage found by pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so
thanks!

What package owns that file? (pacman -Qo)

Output is:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so is owned by perl-scalar-list-utils 1.38-2

which trying to install/re-install just goes to the main perl package which ive already updated?

You should be able to simply uninstall that package since it's provided by Perl core now.

To find other broken Perl modules on your system use the script linked in this mailing list post:
