In any case: do us a favor and post your perl-5.8.0 as an extension, that way we'll get the core modules for that version.

No problem to post something but maybe it would be better to check exactly what first.

To compile from perl-5.8.0.tar.gz, I used:

sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Dprefix=/usr -des

This installs Perl in the following directories:

/usr/bin/
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0

Whereas DSL has Perl in these directories:

/usr/bin/perl -> /KNOPPIX/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl5.8.0 -> /KNOPPIX/usr/bin/perl5.8.0
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.0
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0

And hats' mini Perl is in:

/usr/share/perl/5.8.0

Note the (perhaps) key difference between /perl and /perl5 - is my installation of Perl suitable, or should I change the configuration (how)?
