6 years ago Since XenServer 6.x is based on Cent/RHEL 5.x, you can do a couple of things to upgrade perl: Option 1: Add the historical repo. Below is how we add it in: ''' [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/5.11/os/x86_64/
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 exclude=kernel-xen, xen* enabled=1 '''
Option 2: Locate the version of Perl you need online and use wget to grab it.
By far the easiest way is adding the repo.

When i am trying to install perl module
