 From one Drew to another (There aren't that many of us, certainly  
that I have come across)

How did you build Perl? If it was from ports, did you make sure that  
you are building all your perl modules etc against the right perl  
(i.e. port not base) and that /usr/bin/perl points to the right  
version. This article might be of use http://freebsd.munk.me.uk/archives/160-Upgrading-Perl-On-FreeBSD.html 
  (or be good fodder for /dev/null depending ;-) )
