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 
you had installed there again (if needed), using cpan this time. You can find 
out which packages were installed by searching for files named ".packlist". 
Each directory which contains such a file corresponds to one perl module.

Eventually re-emerge perl after removal of the old directories. This should 
clean up your perl installation.

HTH...
