Security Update 2009-001 (Server Leopard) 'killed' perl

I've just done the update using Software update and just about everything I look at is working, except that perl seems to have gone almost AWOL. I seen it pop up occasionally in the Activity Monitor, but, when I try to run perl scripts from the command line or the cron jobs that ran flawlessly before the update, nothing happens. Period.

Anyone have the same experience and/or any suggestions of how to get out of this problem or cleanly back up to the previous server state (i.e. just before installing the update)?

Thanks.

This is still a problem after the May updates.

As a help for others, here is a list of the bundles installed, at least on my machine. I suggest you run the command yourself to determine exactly what is present on your system, as I don't know if there are architecture-specific changes in the update.
