You can do that in your script by adding:
use lib '/path/to/5.8.4/directory';
before any other 'use' statements. However what you're describing really
shouldn't be happening anyway; your 5.8.4 installation sounds rather
confused and I'd be tempted to build and install a fresh copy to another
directory - ie don't overwrite the Red Hat stuff.

It is the path perl uses to search for libraries/modules. It is mentioned in
the perl and perlmodlib manpages. Sometimes it is hard to find stuff because
there's too much documentation :-(
