RT 3.8.2 - httpd fails to start after CentOS 5.3 upgrade (from 5.2)

I just did yum updates on CentOS to take me from 5.2 to 5.3. Now, httpd fails to start.

/var/log/httpd/error_log shows:

Can someone help me get running again? It would appear that the last perl upgrade is not compatible with RT 3.8.2? How do I downgrade perl if that is the problem? I am in a bind and would greatly appreciate any help.

The first line of the error log tells you everything. You need version 18,
but you only have version installed. This problem is likely due to the
perl upgrade that happened as a result of the system upgrade.
You can use CPAN to update the perl module, or you can install it via yum:
yum upgrade perl-File-Temp

There are probably a few more broken perl modules…

I had to update the following modules:
File::Temp
Sys::Syslog

Now, apache starts and I am good to go. Thanks for the advice.----- Original Message ----
