Jim,

I ran into the same problem not too long ago.  Since I didn't/don't have
oodles of spare time to install all the modules into the new version, here's
the steps I took to fix the problem...

After running the CPAN shell, and like you accepting the defaults, I ended
up with two Perl versions in /usr/bin:

perl5.00503
and
perl5.6.0

I also found that my 'perl' binary was now v5.6.0.  Like you, I didn't want
the upgrade, so I simply copied 'perl5.00503' to 'perl' and all was well
again.  I still have the remnants of v5.6 hanging around, but they're not
causing any harm.  I suppose someday I'll get around to properly upgrading
Perl...

HTH
