So does this mean that in this case, I can only really install the latest

no; it means that if you need newer versions of core Perl modules (which it
sounds like you do), then you need to break your perl-5.8.8 package a bit. the
good news is that RPMforge Perl modules install into the vendor_perl branch, so
they shouldn't be clobbering the actual .pm files, but you will have to install
with rpm --excludedocs to get past the man page conflicts (or with --force if
you want the update man pages).
Wouldn't it make sense to build the RPM with the bin files and man pages
set to install into /usr/local or somesuch? That way it wouldn't
conflict with the core packages and would still put the new files first
in the PATH and MANPATH.
