...You're wrong, Ruslan! I'm using perl 5.8.0.
"perl -v" outputs: "This is perl, v5.8.0..."
"which perl" outputs: "/usr/local/bin/perl."  That means...

...You're right, Ruslan! (/usr/bin/perl is version 5.6.1.)

When I used "perl -MCPAN -e 'install RTx::Shredder'", I expected I would 
get stuff in /opt/rt3/local/sbin/* that would use /usr/local/bin/perl 
instead of /usr/bin/perl. I manually edited the  shebang (first) lines 
in {rtx-shredder, rtx-shredder.in, rtx-validator, rtx-validtator.in} to 
use /usr/local/bin/perl, and that seems to fix them. Thanks for your 
help!  - Carl
