Doing a routine yum update on my test VCL system breaks vcld after the perl rpm
gets updated.
OS: RHEL 5.9
VCL: 2.3.1
yum update perl
This updates the perl rpm from perl-5.8.8-38.el5_8 to perl-5.8.8-40.el5_9.
Afterward, restarting vcld yields the following errors:
Starting vcld daemon:

(F) You said something like "use Module 42" but the Module did not
define a $VERSION.

If I revert back to the previous perl rpm, all works again. Any ideas what's
causing this?
