OK, so what do I do? Set 5.24 as default? I didn't do anything but install the OS.

It's asking for 5.26 but it is disabled.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

OK, so I enabled perl-5.24 by executing:

Code: Select all

dnf module enable perl:5.24
That did not set it as the default, it merely enabled it. There is no obvious dnf subcommand for configuring the default or setting the default perl version that I could find.

I tried using the command:

Code: Select all

dnf module switch-to perl:5.24
And that had a ton of Problems and lots of output that made no sense to me. I don't write anything in Perl. I have succeeded in my career not to adopting it in scripting that I write.
Thanks,

Because I am asking for direction. I don't know why CentOS installs broken from the start. This may be an aesthetic issue, but I don't know that.
Almost every time I execute a yum update there is a perl module error.
Thanks,

I did not realize I never closed this out.

The solution was to enable perl:5.26, by doing the following:

Code: Select all

dnf module enable perl:5.26
