Greetings !

Recently I've installed perl 5.8.6 on my Fedora Core 3 box.
For someother reasons, I want to remove this latest Perl and want to revert back to the vendor perl (Perl 5.8.5).
I've tried the steps provided in Re: Uninstalling Perl but when I execute the line,
perl -MConfig -MFile::Path -e" rmtree($Config{installprefix}) "
it throws an error as below:
Not an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/File/Path.pm line + 185.
Executing "perl -V:.+|grep install" gives me the following:

installarchlib='/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux';
installprivlib='/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6';
installbin='/usr/local/bin';

installsiteman3dir='/usr/local/share/man/man3';
installsitescript='/usr/local/bin';
installstyle='lib/perl5';
installusrbinperl='undef';
installvendorarch='';
installvendorbin='';
installvendorhtml1dir='';
installvendorhtml3dir='';
installvendorlib='';
installvendorman1dir='';
installvendorman3dir='';
installvendorscript='';

Does anyone has any sugggestions about removing the compiled Perl.

Thanks in advance.
