WebService::Linode 301 Moved Permanently

For those who, like me, use the Perl module WebService::Linode to configure their DNS settings with Linode, you will have noticed that starting today we are seeing 301 Moved Permanently at … error message.

This is easily resolved by changing line 36 on your Base.pm module file from “https://api.linode.com/api/” to “https://api.linode.com”.

Depending on how you installed the Linode module the file will reside in different locations. For me, the location is: /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/WebService/Linode/Base.pm

It’s a shame that they changed this URL without more public communication.
