Hi!
I just upgraded perl on one of my UNIX machines to 5.8.0 (was 5.6.1). Of
course there is no great surprise that the new perl is telling me it can't
find any of my modules I install under the old version. So my question is,
can I add an extra path to perl @INC array to point to the location of the
modules under the old perl? Or do I have to reinstall each module. Or is
there an alternate solution?
Thanks a bunch!

You should reinstall each module, the old modules are not compatible with the new Perl, at least if they have an XS/C compiled portion. If you know they are pure Perl you might get away with it, but I wouldn't try.
You might also consider using something newer than 5.8.0, 5.8.6 is current stable.
