Hello. I am getting a symbol lookup error when trying to install a module to ~/perl5/lib or use that lib in apache2.

When trying to install a module with cpan I get the following:

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /home/me/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-li
+nux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_x
+s_apiversion_bootcheck

[download]

When I used that directory in apache2, I get the following error in my error log:

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /home/me/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-li
+nux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_x
+s_apiversion_bootcheck

[download]

I don't know if it is just List::Util that has a problem or my entire ~/perl5/lib.

This issue happened after I upgraded my Debian distribution from 8 (Jessie) to 9 (Stretch). perl -v returns the following:

This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1) built for x86_64-li
+nux-gnu-thread-multi

[download]

which perl returns:

/usr/bin/perl

I can not think of anything else I need to add that will help with figuring out this problem.

All help is appreciated!

This issue appears to be resolved. The suggestion of an Anonymous Monk to rename the dir and reinstall the modules seems to have worked. Thank you all for your patience.

No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!
