in thread Changing path values during Configure causes make problems during 5.8.2 install.

ln -s /System/Library/Perl/5.8.2 /System/Library/Perl

should not work, 'cause you're trying to create /System/Library/Perl symlink, which already exist. reverse the argument. So if you enter 5.8.2 symlink you come back to parent dir.

ln -s /System/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.2

    As you say the order is: 

    ln -s REAL_DESTINATION FAKE_DIR

    [download]

    But if you do a default install you should end up with your perl in /blah/blah/5.8.2/HERE

    cheers
