Actually, this gave me just the clue I needed to solve the problem.  I tried 
to install another package from dev-perl and got complaints that it was 
trying to overwrite a file in perl5.10.0.  I've manually installed perl 5.10 
so that I can use the nifty new features but left perl 5.8.8 as the default 
version on the system.  (When I want to use 5.10, I  put a shebang line in 
the script pointing to that executable.)  Poking about on the system for a 
bit revealed that /usr/bin/perl pointed to 5.8.8 but 
somehow /usr/local/bin/perl was pointing to 5.10.  I don't know why that 
caused the issue, or even why there's a perl executable in both places, but 
fixing that resolved the issue.  Thanks for the assistance.
