== rebuild perl ==
{{mbox |type=warning |text=RT was phased out in 2018 and was replaced by [[Freshdesk]]. }}
== Symptoms of a Borked Perl ==
* The server produces little or no logs
* running /opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server produces a segmentation fault
* running make testdeps in ~/rt-4.2.3 produces a segmentation fault
Generally a borked perl is caused by an upgrade to a c lib without rebuilding the associated perl module, most commonly libmariadb.
=== Rebuild Perl ===
The RT instance doesn't use pacman to manage perl libs, just core perl itself. CPAN is used to manage perl libs.

# run make fixdeps in tmux or screen, it takes a _really_ long time
sudo make fixdeps

== about perl libs ==
=== Fixdeps shortcomings ===
The following stuff didn't install nicely due to failed tests, so I forced installed them
cpanm -S --force GnuPG::Interface
cpanm -S --force DBD::mysql
=== Plugin Dependencies ===
cpanm -S Net::LDAP
cpanm -S HTML::Gumbo
cpanm -S Encode::Detect::Detector
