The other perl was installed by darwinports. It doesn't ask
questions. If it did, I wouldn't install it. I'm not concerned
about incompatibilities as the perl versions are so close. I could
reconfigure darwinports, but I don't want to. So this isn't a
solution to my issue.
Thanks though.

The reason for 2 versions is a port system that refuses to rely on
the already installed perl. So I have:
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level
AND
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/darwin-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 ...
If you download 5.8.7 and let it install itself in the default
location without bothering even to look at the difficult questions,
I guess you will solve all you problems and end up with this:
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/darwin-2level
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/darwin-2level
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/darwin-2level
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
Whatever you have in /opt or whatever other non-standard directory
can then porbably be safely consigned to the trash.
