Umm, well that's wrong. The perl binary you're using for Makefile.PL
is different to the one above (`perl -V`), or at least that's my guess
as they one running Makefile.PL is using a 5.8.4 @INC - how did you
invoke the makefile? (Having worked in an environment that has many
different versions of Perl installed I know how painful it can be
tracking down /exactly/ which binary you're using).
