Hi Monks,

My webhosting account (which uses cPanel for its control panel) has just been moved to newer hardware.  As a result, it's gone from Perl 5.10 to 5.16.  Unfortunately, my website broke as a result of the migration, and this is partly because the old server had a lot more "system modules" (cPanel terminology, I think, which are presumably "core modules") than there are now.

Yes, I know that I can install modules myself (and cPanel makes that easy), but I'm wondering:

Q1. Any ideas why this new server (running Perl 5.16) would have only 23 system modules installed, while the old one (running Perl 5.10) had probably over 100?

Q2. Does cPanel usually have all of Perl's available core modules installed as system modules?

Thanks.
