undefined?)

It appears from casual testing that when you configure 5.8.1, it looks
in your old site_perl library directory for older subdirectories, and
arranges for all of them to be listed in @INC, in reverse
chronological order.  I installed 5.8.1 yesterday, and its @INC is:

    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i586-linux
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i586-linux
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.7.3
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.7.2
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    .

So you won't have to reinstall all your modules.
