perl-Scalar-Util is not a rpm fedora package but what about perl-Scalar-List-Utils which provides perl(Scalar::Util) ? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 | | Room# D114A =========================================================================== > Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2022 at 2:28 PM > From: "Sam Varshavchik" <mrsam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Perl is now failing for me > > Fulko Hew writes: > > > or > > > > > > $ cpan > > Attempt to reload Scalar/Util.pm aborted. > > Looks like you have installed additional Perl modules, bypassing Fedora's > packaged perl RPMs. This is likely resulted in unintentional corruption or > incompatibility with your base Fedora perl installation, in some unknown > manner that nobody, I'm afraid, can diagnose for you. > > > Can anyone suggest where to start? > > For example...
