-Sometimes perl gets broken on the rt system
+*  The server produces little or no logs
+*  running /opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server produces a segmentation fault
+*  running make testdeps in ~/rt-4.2.3 produces a segmentation fault
+Generally a borked perl is caused by an upgrade to a c lib without rebuilding the associated perl module, most commonly libmariadb.

-== about perl libs ==
+=== Fixdeps shortcomings ===

-== stuff that didn't work ==
 The following stuff didn't install nicely due to failed tests, so I forced installed them
