Unfortunately, neither yum nor rpm know anything about 5.10.0, and uninstalling 5.8.8 through rpm and reinstalling via yum don't get rid of 5.10.0.

One thing I've discovered is that 5.8.8 is in /usr/lib/perl5 while 5.10.0 is in /usr/local/lib/perl5.

So, I removed the contents of /usr/local/lib/perl5, which only seemed to kill perldoc. Now my @INC still points to the 5.10.0 dirs and "perl -v" still reports 5.10.0 as the version.

Where is @INC getting set? And how to I actually get rid of 5.10.0?
