in reply to Perl 5.8.0 and Mac OS X

You may run into a lot of that. I'm guessing that's an XS (complied C) module that broke when you upgraded. After doing the upgrade, it's worth while to do . . . 
# sudo perl -MCPAN -erecompile

. . . to get all your XS modules updated.

Did you follow Apple's 5.8 upgrade instructions? If so, did you do a parallel install alongside 5.6 or did you opt to replace it alltogether?

    I followed Apples instructions for upgrading to 5.8 it when I'm in the CPAN module and request what needs to be recompiled it spits out that File::Spec::Functions has been upgraded to 1.2 and that the module is in perl-5.8.0.tar.gz which is why I'm puzzled why I'm getting that for just that module.
