I think that it will be enough to change first line to
<code>
#!/new_perl5.8.8_dir/usr/local/bin/perl
</code>
It is about six years ago when I work as Perl developer. I needed to test all new code for running with different versions of Perl. I've installed different perl versions to <code>/opt/perl-${VERSION}</code> so the system wide perl which was required for base system administration remain untouched. In addition I wrote a short application in C and save it as <code>/usr/bin/perl_parallel</code>. Perl_parallel read preferred Perl version from file <code>.perl_version</code> in user $HOME and executed script under correct Perl interpreter. There was also script <code>use_perl</code> for querying and updating <code>.perl_version</code> file. If someone is interested in the <code>perl_parallel</code> C source code, it can be found in C/C++ programming forum on server <a href="http://forum.builder.cz/read.php?123,830264,830270#msg-830270"> forum.builder.cz</a> (page is in Czech).
