Thanks! Am I also correct in assuming that any modules installed via CPAN will be available to this Perl version?
Modules can be added, either manually with the usual routine, or via the CPAN shell.
Modules previously installed under the stock 5.8.1 are likely to be compatible, although I haven't tested that. Just use 'use lib' to add /Library/Perl/5.8.1 and /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level to @INC.
Keep in mind that this is not always true; Perl modules with an XS (compiled C) component are compatible only with the same major version (5.8.x) and architecture (darwin-thread-multi-2level) for which they were compiled.
