This problem is part of some Perl code which supports an MRTG (multi-router traffic grapher) installation. I think I broke this when I recently upgraded to perl 5.8.8. I'm getting... 
Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/bin/indexmake
+r line 49
    main::BEGIN() called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 49
    eval {...} called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 49
Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at (eval 6) line 1.

line 49 in /usb/bin/indexmaker (it's a perl script) is: use MRTG_lib "2.090017"; MRTG_lib.pm starts off with... 
package MRTG_lib;
require 5.005;
use strict;
use SNMP_util "0.86";
use vars qw($OS $SL $PS @EXPORT @ISA $VERSION %mrtgrules);

[download]
and the vars module (in my /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/) has: our $VERSION = '1.01'; a runtime peek at @INC with perl -e 'print(join(",\n",@INC));' reports 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux,
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8,
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux,
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8,
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl,

ok, I'm lost...
