Fire up perl5.8.0 -MCPAN -e shell and use autobundle to create a Bundle for your old installation; fire up perl5.8.3 -MCPAN -e shell and install the created Bundle (Something like Bundle::Snapshot_2004_03_03_00.pm), lean back and let perl do the work ;-)

figured out a way of getting 5.8.3 invoked instead of 5.8.0 .. but, and this is a big but, *cries* do I _have_ to install all of my modules again?
Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: if the modules don't use XS, you
might be able to avoid re-installing them by
messing with @INC, but this is probably not
recommended if you don't know what you're doing.
Fire up perl -MCPAN -e shell and
install your modules again -- that's the easy way.

5.8.3 is supposed to be binary-compatible with
5.8.0, so if you configured it to include the 5.8.0 directories (and built it with the same options) it
shouldn't be necessary to your modules.
