[SOLVED] Perl has screwed up rather nicely.

After today's update:

[crew@myhost ~]$ kildclient

(I attempt to connect to a server)

Perl lib version (5.10.1) doesn't match executable version (v5.10.0) at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/Config.pm line 50.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/DynaLoader.pm line 25.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/DynaLoader.pm line 25.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Locale/gettext.pm line 37.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/kildclient/kildclient.pl line 32.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/kildclient/kildclient.pl line 32.
Undefined subroutine &main::__sethelpfile called at (eval 3) line 1.
[crew@myhost ~]$

Kildclient then closes itself.

Similar issue:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81114

perl in [testing] was just released. Hopefully it fixes your problem.

--EDIT--

Whoops. This is with todays upgrade from testing? Try rebuilding the broken app.

Re: [SOLVED] Perl has screwed up rather nicely.

Rebuilding it worked, but I'm not sure that's exactly a "solution". I mean, it made it WORK, but if every time there's a perl upgrade I gotta reinstall EVERY app I have that uses per, that's a bit of a PITA.

I hear ya'. If the Perl devs want to change the API on every update, it's going to keep Arch users swimming upstream.

Re: [SOLVED] Perl has screwed up rather nicely.

That is a problem of a program linking to a static lib requiring a set version of perl. We ship a shared library now that should solve this issue in future.

Re: [SOLVED] Perl has screwed up rather nicely.

So this is a one time hiccup?

Welp, that solves it far as I'm concerned. And so far no issues, so let's cross our fingers. Although now Perl's on my sh*t list along with Intel for "breaking stuff on updates".
