Yes, I did su, and your command returned 0.6 matching the fact I get the 
error. I will attempt to do the 0.8 install again. No restart of anything 
needed, just the perl and make commands listed above?
------------------
No restart of anything is needed.

You might try to do a "find / -name Spec.pm -print" to see
if by chance you have two versions installed in separate
perl libraries. In other words, if your install is putting
version 0.8 into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 but version
9.6 is in /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 this would be consistient
with the problems you are describing.
