cPanel Native SSL support failed error

If your cPanel/WHM install randomly sends you an e-mail one day along the lines of:

Native SSL support failed to pass the startup test. stunnel was started instead.
The exact error was: [linktest=/usr/local/cpanel/bin/linktest-ssl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/cpanel/perl/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
] [binary=/usr/local/cpanel/cpsrvd-ssl] [cpsrvd=/usr/local/cpanel/cpsrvd-ssl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/cpanel/perl/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
]

You should attempt run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/nativessl-install or submit a support request at https://tickets.cpanel.net/submit/

Then hopefully the following will restore it to it’s previous working state:

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install ExtUtils::Install’
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/nativessl-install

I have no idea what causes this or why /scripts/checkperlmodules doesn’t flag the ExtUtils::Install Perl module as missing, but it seems to fix the problem even when using perl588installer.tar.gz from layer1.cpanel.net to re-install the cPanel provided version of Perl and associated CPAN modules doesn’t.
