monsignor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Please pardon this humble neophyte, but I am having trouble getting perl running again after I upgraded my linux Mint installation from 20.3 to 21.

When I try to run perlbrew or a perl script I get these errors:

$ perlbrew ListUtil.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got han +dshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xeb00080) $ perl imap-test.pl ListUtil.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got han +dshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xeb00080)

I belive this might be complicated because IIUC perl is used as "glue" to bind together some system processes.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
