The vendor Perl belongs to the vendor. Maybe some Redhat scripts also use Perl (5.8.8) and expect some modules to be available. I recommend against replacing the vendor Perl with a different version.

My bad. The old 5.8.8 perl was installed by me in a different 5.8.8 directory somewhere on the system (i.e. not in my home dir), and /usr/bin/perl currently points to 5.8.8. I don't even know where the "real" system vendor perl is.	[reply]
