Beware with RedHat 7.3 to 8.0 upgrades. The new search path in perl doesn't
include any of the perl 5.6.1 search directories. So you will have to
re-install modules you are using.

You might want to actually remove any old site_perl directories
(/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6*) so they do not get in the way of your new
installation.

There is a catch for this in the install.sh script, use that and this
problem won't arise.
