You can view the output from perl -V at http://ptoc.org/register/perl-V.txt It shows perl 5.8.3 because /usr/local/bin shows up first in the PATH.
When I subscribed to web hosting at globalservers.com it came with /usr/bin/perl 5.6.0 After some recomendations from this mail group I did the following to upgrade perl perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install CPAN cpan> install Bundle::Apache::ASP Which installed perl 5.8.3 into the /usr/local/bin directory by default. I thought it would do an upgrade from perl 5.6.0 to 5.8.3. I ended up with two versions of perl. After much trouble, Spencer at globalservers.com installed perl 5.8.0 into /usr/bin. I'm not sure how to get rid of this mess and start over with one version of perl 5.8.3. If we get to one version of perl, then mod_perl and apache will no doubt have to be recompiled. It seems that no matter what Spencer does I still get perl 5.6.0 showing up in my ASP error_log and Apache will not restart with ASP stuff in the httpd.conf file.

Why did you (they) install perl 5.8.0 and perl 5.8.3 at different locations? What version does "perl -V" give and what @INC does it indicate? What i would do is delete all the different Perl installations - manually - that means, remove all the different Perl interpreters and remove everything under /usr/lib/perlx and /usr/local/lib/perlx and install perl again with the prefix /usr or /usr/local. I think, this would not take as much time as repairing around this strange installation. Of course you have to reinstall all the necessary non-standard modules again.
