For over five years now, we use Perl during the post install of kickstart to perform customization. It appears the Perl setup is broken in CentOS 4.3 x86_64. It still works fine on CentOS 4.1 32-bit. The library Perl needs is missing:
# perl -V
error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director
Is this a bug or is RedHat deprecating support for Perl during the installation?

libperl.so is the perl runtime environment (essentially it is perl). Are your scripts running inside the chroot are not? If not this may be understandable (though I didn't know libperl.so was ever part of the anaconda environment at all...but there is a lot I don't know), but if you are running in the chroot I can't imagine a perl installation being done that would install the cli, without the library...it just doesn't make sense.
