    AIX 7.2 is delivered with Perl 5.20.0.

    The CPAN delivered with 5.20 has memory limit issues which require increasing the ulimits. 

    CPAN will segment fault when trying to install any modules.

    May have to install 5.28 beside 5.20 but I wanted to see if there was a solution to the CPAN issues on 5.20.

    We can't do anything on Perl 5.20.0 .

    Better move to 5.28

    This will fix your seg fault issues.  5.22 to 5.28.1-1 rpm has multiple issues with the build that IBM needs to fix.  Also IBM will not support perl.rte so yes this is the place for both perl.rte and perl rpm. Your other options are to use perzl or bull rpms.

    mv /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl_32bit

    ln -sf /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl_64bit /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl

    ln -sf /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl_64bit /usr/bin/perl
