> libjson-xs-perl is probably the mismatched library.  briefly explains the nature of the problem. Before you can blame the Debian packager (the libjson-xs-perl maintainer is innocent) for upgrading perl without upgrading all of the packages you need to be sure that that's the only instance of libjson-xs-perl on your system. If there's another one earlier in perl's include path it might be the mismatched library. Have you ever run gnc-fq-update or used cpan directly  on this machine?


I forgot to paste in the URI that explains the problem. It's https://foursixnine.io/blog/2019/01/21/perl-binaries-are-mismatched.html
