If you look at the list below, you'll notice that the only binary
directories that are searched by 5.8.1 are the binary directories for
5.8.1 and 5.8.0.  For example, compiled modules from 5.7.3 are in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.7.3/i586-linux, which isn't on the
list.

The only modules that are used from older directories are pure-Perl modules.
