If you are trying to install any Perl Modules on a CageFS-based server, you will need to force a CageFS update once your module installations have been completed.

In the following example of a module installation, we are using cpan to install DBI:

root@server [~]# cpan DBI

CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:41:02 GMT
CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.18)
DBI is up to date (1.631).

root@server [~]# cpan DBD::mysql

CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:41:02 GMT
CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.18)
DBD::mysql is up to date (4.026).

Without running either of the below commands after we’ve finished, the Perl modules are not available for users to access within their respective cPanel accounts.

/usr/bin/cagefsctl --force-update

OR

/sbin/cagefsctl --force-update
