I just installed 5.8.8 in /usr/local. It went very smoothly and
Perl 5.8.8 seems to work fine.
Except that it can't see the packages in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6
that I use all the time.
It doesn't need to. It has its own copy of core modules.
Stuff like
Date::Format
Date::Parse
LWP
...
Those aren't core modules. CPAN modules are installed under /Library/
Perl, which is the moral equivalent of the more traditional
"site_perl" directory.
I tried the 5.8.8 script
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib "/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6";
use lib '/Library/Perl/5.8.6';
