Slackware-Current - perl module(s) fail(s) to install
 

I'm using Slackware current (OS: Slackware 14.2 x86_64 (post 14.2 -current) x86_64; Kernel: 5.10.3).

Perl version: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 32 subversion 0) configuration:

Platform:
osname=linux
osvers=5.4.77
archname=x86_64-linux-thread-multi


I've tried to install a perl module from CPAN (install HTTP::Cookies) but it is failing during testing with message below.

t/10-original_spec.t ... Clone.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xed00080)
t/10-original_spec.t ... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

Anyone seeing issues with Perl on Slackware current

that error message is most probably because you have installed also other perl modules built for a different perl version (via CPAN or package) and they are not binary-compatible with the new version (5.32.0).

the best course of action, IMHO, is to note which perl modules you have installed (via CPAN or whatever), clean them all and then reinstall them from scratch.

Thank you. It turns out I had to reinstall from CPAN Clone perl module
