This likely stems from having Perl modules with a compiled component ("XS") from the old Perl version, but a new (system) Perl version now.

The solution is to reinstall all the Perl modules that you installed previously.

A second solution would be to install a Perl version identical to the old system Perl, but it is relatively hard to replicate the exact compiler settings etc. used for the old system Perl.

In the long run, there are two approaches:

Maintaining a list of prerequisite modules for your programs, and reinstalling that on every upgrade
Maintain a separate Perl installation and be independent from system upgrades

Both have upsides and downsides - with the first option, you get automatic upgrades, with the second, you don't get them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
