Please try to run dnf update to fully update to Rocky Linux 9.5 and see if your issues subside. Your system likely has mismatched packages between 9.2 (obsolete and unsupported) and 9.5 (current supported version).
It’s quite hard to install perl (as it was) on Rocky 9.2 unless you’ve got repos set up pointing to original Rocky 9.2 packages. Looks like you pulled in bits and pieces from 9.5 and now it’s all messed up.
Hi @nazunalika
Verified with Rocky 9.5 and the issue was fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sayooj .
Thanks @gerry666uk for the root cause.
