perl errors, apt-get, proxmox

If you get errors like:

BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm line 6.

And then with apt-get you are also getting perl errors, check the perl paths. Grab the list of not found dirs:

ls -la /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl | grep ‘no file’

-> fix that list, make them point to where you think they should, like:

/usr/local/lib/site_perl -> /usr/lib/perl5/

In my case 3 directory did not exist, and one was empty.

I just made symbolic links for them, and perl started working again.

And if you were doing the same thing as me, then continue installing proxmox with these great advices:
