are there packages replacing the ancient perl version in Centos 7 with a more recent one, like 5.24? At least the state feature is required.
Perl 5.24 is available in SCL, in the centos-sclo-rh repository.
Thanks, I tried rh-perl, and it worked for a test. It does not replace the existing perl installation. You have to explicitly use that version.
Not replacing the existing system Perl is a feature, not a bug. It allows the 'Enterprise' side of CentOS to keep going with no unexpected surprises.
I?m not sure if that?s possible for CGI. I do get 5.24 after running 'scl enable rh-perl524 bash'. Is there a way to get that for CGI?
It all depends on how you launch your CGI, but in general there shouldn't be a problem beginning your script with
#!/opt/rh/.../perl
