To resolve the issue with the Perl module installation on your server, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Access cPanel: Log in to your hosting account's cPanel interface.

2. Navigate to Perl Modules:

   • In the cPanel menu, locate and click on Perl Modules.

3. Modify Configuration Settings:

   • Click on Module Config.
   • Find the section labeled makepl_arg and set it to an empty string: makepl_arg=.
   • Similarly, set mbuildpl_arg to an empty string: mbuildpl_arg=.
   • Save these changes by clicking Commit Changes.

4. Reinstall the Module:

   • Go back to the Perl Modules section.
   • Click on Install Module and select the module you wish to install.
   • Follow the prompts to begin the installation.

5. Check for Errors:

   • If an error occurs, such as a failed build in /home/nctests/.cpan/build/..., use FTP or cPanel File Manager to delete this directory manually before retrying the installation.

6. Review Installation Log:

   • After successful installation, check the log file for any issues.
   • Ensure the module is listed under Perl Modules after installation.

7. Update Your Script:

   • Add #!/usr/bin/perl and use cPanelUserConfig; or use cPanel::UserConfig; at the top of your script to ensure proper module handling.

8. Exit cPanel Shell:

   • After finishing, type exit in the cpan shell to close it and remove any lock files.
