The new version of cPanel, which is 11.36 is shipped with perl 5.14.3. well this might make some problems for your cpan. some of you might face an error while trying to run easyapache which says:
!! Failed to install CPAN Perl module(s) Crypt::PasswdMD5 !!
Well to fix this issue just run following command to install Crypt::PasswdMD5
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpanm -n Digest::SHA1 Crypt::PasswdMD5
that’s it, enjoy your easyapache journey!

incase the above command did not work out for you just use cpan.
first type “cpan”
then:
install Digest::SHA1 Crypt::PasswdMD5
then exit cpan by typing “exit”
Sounds like you have a corrupted perl install, to reinstall perl do the following:
first try
/scripts/fixperl
if that doesn’t do it you’ll need a complete perl reinstall so do the following:
wget http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz
tar xzvf perl588installer.tar.gz
rm -rf perl588installer.tar.gz (skip this if you want to keep the tarball)
cd perl588installer/
./install
it’ll take awhile but when it’s done it should be fixed.
