The first module I tried to install with cpan while using my system's 5.8.6 perl was LWP::Simple. However, cpan couldn't get past the "make test" step during installation. So someone told me to download and install libww-perl-5.833 by hand, and just skip the 'make test' step and do "make" followed by "make install". After I did that, I was able to use LWP::Simple in my perl programs.

Then I tried to install my second module, FileUtils::More, using cpan, and once again cpan couldn't install the module. In response, I decided to upgrade to perl 5.10.1. The location of my new perl 5.10.1 install is shown in my initial post. Anyway, that's why some of the results in my find searches are in a Perl/5.8.6/ directory and some are in a perl5/perl5.10.1/ directory
