Hi, i ont want to get involved in the religios questions: for the rest:

Are there major > CPAN modules known to become incompatible when moving to 5.8.2? Not from the top of my head. However, if you check http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Modules/ and look for the ppm module status, youll find a nice table telling you which modules work in which version of activestate perl. There is a lot of modules that dont work with 5.8. yet (like Mail::POP3Client).
