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?
