Thanks Ed for resolving my dilemma. I already did that. Some other people in the team thought we could upgrade Perl on the server so other programs and script could benefit from the new version. I wanted to find out how difficult is to do such a thing.

You don't. If you need 5.8.7 for specific applications, you install into /usr/local or /opt and then point those applications to the different instance.
