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:

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