in thread Perl5.8.8 error

In the process of building perl the shared library (a.k.a. shared object) libperl.so is built. It seems that upon make install perl doesn't get the freshly built libperl.so, but the one residing in /usr/lib, dated from 2003. Bummer.

Move that one, and the libperl.a besides, out of the way and try make install again.
