APC Cache Plugins no longer valid with PHP 8

[Swampcritter]

Upon installing PHP 8.x on CentOS 7 platform, the PHP APC module is considered depreciated so the newer APCu PHP module is required now. I downloaded and installed the APCu PHP8 module installed on the server. When I attempted to enable either the APC Cache plugin or YAPCache, a APC extension error message appears and prevents the plugin page from appearing.

This error message appears:
This plugin requires the APC extension: http://pecl.php.net/package/APC
