You have to use the full path to perl5.10.0 because, when you installed perl5.8.9, you must have run: rm -f config.sh Policy.sh. By doing that, you made perl5.8.9 the main perl; hence, 5.10.0 isn't your system perl anymore. Because the config.sh and Policy.sh of 5.10.0 was removed, you'll have to reinstall 5.10.0, removing the config.sh and Policy.sh for 5.8.9, if you want 5.10.0 to be the system perl.

One other thing, be very careful when authors list dependencies. They don't really make any distinction between core and site modules. The best thing to do, especially when you're just starting out, is use the CPAN shell. It'll take care of the dependencies for you.

One good way of telling if a module is core is to use corelist. For example from the command-line:

corelist File::Basename

It'll tell you if it's core or not. You could also get a list of core modules starting with File:: like this

corelist /^File::/ and it'll list the core modules starting with File::.
