in thread perl installation

Yes. Along with launching your local version of cpan, you also need to launch your local version of perl. Which is why I recommended adjusting $ENV{PATH} so your local Perl gets found first. The error message explains that well:

Perl lib version (v5.8.8) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.4)

You're running perl5.8.4 but you have set up the Perl libraries to point to those of 5.8.8. To fix this, you need to launch the 5.8.8 Perl as well. Do:

/tools/sol/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/Perl_Modules

instead of using

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/Perl_Modules

      This is not really a Perl issue. You should ask your system administrator on how to best do that in your environment.

      A quick fix would likely be to execute:

      export PATH=/tools/sol/perl/bin;$PATH

      in your shell session or to add a line like that to your .profile. Or you could actually read what I gave you as a solution in my first reply instead of blindly changing things around and praying for the best.
