I just tried installing C::C::FB under mac 10.5 with both stock perl (5.8.8) and a locally compiled version (5.8.8) and got those same errors both times with C::R 5.8. Then I tried it with a SUSE Linux install with C::R 5.8, and got the same errors. methinks this is a Cat 5.8 + C::C::FB issue, and that you need to re-check your working copy on Linux, which might either (a) be 'force install'ed or (b) be from an rpm and not straight from cpan or (c) be running C::R 5.7 after all. >> after you've done that, give some thought to whether you want to stick with >> C::C::FormBuilder.
