Hi, all.
I recently started having problems with Amanda 3.3.1 on my CentOS 5.7
installation. The error in the failure email was:
taper: FATAL Undefined subroutine &main:: called at
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Data/Dumper.pm line 113.
As far as I knew I hadn't done anything strange with CPAN or Perl, so I
wasn't sure what was wrong. I tried smaller DLEs, running dumps
manually, erasing tapes, etc, but nothing worked. Next I tried to
reinstall Data::Dumper from CPAN and I noticed that something was wrong
with my CPAN configuration. After some searching I found out that a
recent CentOS 5 perl update had broken CPAN for some other people, and
the error was similar to mine.

After installing an updated Scalar::Utils manually (as suggested in the
link above), amdump started working again.
I hope that helps someone out there!
