Perl 5.008008 *is* 5.8.8 as far as Perl's concerned.  Just as Perl 5.00503 is
called by us lazy folk Perl 5.5.3.  As it says in the message, it's most
certainly looking in your /opt/csw/lib/perl directory.

I haven't read the rest carefully enough to answer the other questions, so
hopefully someone else can comment before I get back to this.

All the best,
