Agreed.

I did this on my test machine in order to get it to work (5.8.0, that is).

Can you elaborate on your preferred method that you've mentioned? dyld is rather 
persistent on Mac OS X with 5.8.0. It is not overwritten in a 5.8.0 install, so any 
advice appreciated :-)

(Also remembering `rm -rf /Library/Perl' will only delete stuff _outside_ of other 
directories; i.e. only in top-level /Library/Perl).

Regards,

Phil.
