Slimserver broken after liveupgrade

Here's one that gets me every time. Slimserver breaks after upgrading.
The fix is to force install Scalar::Util. Don't ask me why - I dabble in perl but this sort of thing is totally beyond me. Anyways, here are the obligatory screengrabs;

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9301) available!
[Current version is v1.7601]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...
