Is this a clean install of Fedora? I'm puzzled by all the mentions of Perl
5.8
here, and wonder if your Perl installation is intact.
You could try downloading CPAN and installing it manually. You can
download the
latest version here
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN/lib/CPAN.pm
and read about manual installation in
perldoc perlmodinstall
HTH,
