You probably had them installed in Mac OS X's Perl directories. 

I install my own perls (and have many installed) each with their own
roots:

$ ls -l /usr/local/perls
drwxr-xr-x   5 root   wheel  170 Dec  2 12:13 perl-5.10.0-rc2
drwxrwxr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Mar 14  2007 perl-5.6.2
drwxrwxr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Sep 22 13:02 perl-5.6.2-dist
drwxrwxr-x   6 brian  wheel  204 Apr 10  2007 perl-5.8.8-for-pugs
drwxr-xr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Feb 22  2007 perl-5.8.8-threaded
drwxr-xr-x   4 brian  wheel  136 Feb 22  2007
perl-5.8.8-threaded-debugging
drwxr-xr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Feb 26  2007 perl-5.9.4
drwxrwxr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Aug 19 01:42 perl-5.9.5
drwxrwxr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Oct  7 18:45 perl-5.9.5-for-kp6
drwxrwxr-x   5 brian  wheel  170 Sep 30 17:16 perl4
drwxr-xr-x  24 brian  brian  816 Mar 13  2007 perlbench-0.93

I think have links in /usr/local/bin to each of the interpreters I like
to use:

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/perl*
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1103676 Apr  9  2007 /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       47 Dec  2 12:44
/usr/local/bin/perl5.10.0 ->
/usr/local/perls/perl-5.10.0-rc2/bin/perl5.10.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       41 Aug 16 00:00
/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.2 -> /usr/local/perls/perl-5.6.2/bin/perl5.6.2
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1103676 Apr  9  2007 /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       41 Sep 29 14:38
/usr/local/bin/perl5.9.5 -> /usr/local/perls/perl-5.9.5/bin/perl5.9.5

When I want to install modules, I use the right interpreter with
cpan(1):

$ perl5.10.0 cpan Foo Bar
