Every now and again perl will become broken or corrupt either because of something we’ve done or, like most things, out of nowhere with now warning. Run the following:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz
tar -vzxf perl588installer.tar.gz
cd perl588installer
./install

This will takes some time, approximately 30-60 minutes depending on the server.

Hope this helps!
