Hi talexb,

I was a bit surprised to see you fiddling with the system Perl on Ubuntu.

Like Fletch and stevieb, I strongly prefer to leave the system perl alone and build my own perl (as non-root) that I can safely control, and experiment with, and install CPAN modules to, without risking breaking my Unix system. Conversely, Fletch notes that relying on the system perl couples you tightly to the OS' upgrade schedule, for both the language and CPAN modules ... so a "harmless" OS upgrade can potentially break your mission-critical systems, if they are using the system perl.

I also wonder if your Ubuntu system perl has patched the perl v5.34.0 security vulnerabilities described here.

In case it's of use, this node contains a detailed example of securely building perl from source on Ubuntu. 

👁️🍾👍🦟
