The only way I could know this was to install Perl from source on a test system, then see if I was able to install modules back to the old version. I can tell you having two versions of Perl has broken my ability to install some Perl modules from apt-get on a Debian system, I see no reason for it not to do the same on SuSE. Now, just for fun, I'm trying to get amavisd-new running using the newer version of Perl. Here we go, after a (frustrating) hour and a half of installing modules it finally came up on Perl 5.8.8. :) Oops, can't find razor2 modules, guess I'll have to install it from source. Yep, that worked, of course it ignored the packaged version because that version is installed in the old version of Perl. So, I can install from CPAN to the old version, and I can install some modules (but not others) from packages to the old system. If I install from source, it installs in the new version. In general the whole thing is pretty iffy. I wouldn't wish it on an enemy, much less a friend.
