/opt/perl
is a symlink to the perl I'm using:
/opt/perl-5.8.1
I use /opt/perl/ to build mod_perl, and #!/opt/perl/bin in my scripts.
Make sure you have the right perl in your path when you add CPAN modules. I usually keep /opt/perl/bin as the first one in my user account .profile, rather than the general /etc/profile setup.
