The problem is due some irssi scripts, they are found in http://scripts.irssi.org/

email_privmsgs.pl
gtrans.pl
irsnot.pl
twirssi.pl

this means you have install perl modules outside of pacman using cpan or whatever methods.

all perl modules need to be recompiled against perl 5.14.1 and usually bugs like this appear when using modules from aur or cpan

thanks wonder, perl owns just until this directory "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl", is this new perl version missing something?

pacman -Ql | grep "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl"
perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/

I've reinstalled all the perl modules but the problem still happens, I used this method

perldoc perllocal
...

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install List::MoreUtils
...

Maybe I'm missing something, I think could be a good idea to add in the perl install file for looking up the local modules installed and reinstall them

Use this script to find broken modules: http://git.server-speed.net/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.sh
It should work fine with packages installed using cpan directly, but I haven't tested that.

When you have the list use cpanp to reinstall them as described here: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2011-July/020719.html
