This is a classic "this XS module wants a different Perl" problem. My guess would be that Bugzilla wasn't upgraded so none of its prereqs (including XS Perl modules not in the Perl core) were either, and these modules apparently aren't packaged to require a specific Perl as they should be. If they were, upgrading Perl would have forced an upgrade of these modules.

If you upgrade the packages for the Perl modules that are failing that will probably solve your problem. You shouldd also check to see if there's a Bugzilla upgrade for 10.04 as well; if there is, it will probably fix all the problems for you. Make sure to back up your bug database before trying a reinstall!

If you installed Bugzilla and its support by hand - that is, you used the CPAN shell or something similar, then that's the reason the Perl modules didn't upgrade - the package management system had no way to know there were Perl modules that wouldn't work with the new Perl. You'll need to rebuild those modules and reinstall them.
