5.6 and 5.8 are not binary compatible. There for anything which was compiled for 5.6 will not work for 5.8. Or to put it another way, you will have to download and re- compile any modules which exhibit odd behaviour under 5.8.

Thanks for the response, Chad (Clark).
I finally got by the CPAN problem by deleting /Library/Perl and doing another "make Install" of Perl --
Now I'm stuck on the DBI install. Even with a "force install Bundle::DBI" or "force install DBI", I get an error:
--------------------------------

Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
--------------------------------
Should I delete ...cpan/sources/authors/...DBI-1.32.tar.gz??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Things went fine installing using the same procedure on my TiBook

Please advise!

Mac OS X dyld undefined symbols
If after installing Perl 5.8.0 you are getting warnings about missing
symbols, for example
dyld: perl Undefined symbols
_perl_sv_2pv
_perl_get_sv
you probably have an old pre-Perl-5.8.0 installation (or parts of one)
in /Library/Perl (the undefined symbols used to exist in pre-5.8.0 Perls).
It seems that for some reason "make install" doesn't always completely
overwrite the files in /Library/Perl. You can move the old Perl
shared library out of the way like this:
cd /Library/Perl/darwin/CORE
mv libperl.dylib libperlold.dylib
and then reissue "make install". Note that the above of course is
extremely disruptive for anything using the /usr/local/bin/perl.
If that doesn't help, you may have to try removing all the .bundle
files from beneath /Library/Perl, and again "make install"-ing.

Or alternatively,
find /Library/Perl -name '*.bundle' -print | xargs rm -I
I had to install DBI and DBD::MySQL by force CPAN build fails.
