No, not really. You only need perl to run cpan. |

You don't need to. Remove the old 5.8.x directories and install the modules |
| 30 |
you had installed there again (if needed), using cpan this time. You can find |
| 31 |
out which packages were installed by searching for files named ".packlist". |
| 32 |
Each directory which contains such a file corresponds to one perl module. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Eventually re-emerge perl after removal of the old directories. This should |
| 35 |
clean up your perl installation. |
