# Perl Modules / Other Files not updating on CloudLinux CageFS server

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:**

```shell
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.

```shell
/usr/bin/cagefsctl --force-update
```

OR

```shell
/sbin/cagefsctl --force-update
```
