I deleted perl5.8.2 and 5.5 pkgs, the re-installed 5.8.5 pkg

not delivered in the perl5.8.5 pkg, but I found a copy.  gives no errors:

Fixed 28 packages (316 files moved, 0 files modified)
Skipped 41 packages

still no success in getting postgrey to start.

in fact, PERL does finally find files, just after looking in about 10 
directories, from strace:

stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/File/Spec.pmc", 
0xbfbff090) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/File/Spec.pm", 
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/File/Spec.pmc", 
0xbfbff090) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/File/Spec.pm", O_RDONLY) = 
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/File/Spec.pmc", 0xbfbff090) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/File/Spec.pm", O_RDONLY) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/BSDPAN/File/Spec.pmc", 0xbfbff090) = 
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/BSDPAN/File/Spec.pm", O_RDONLY) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/mach/File/Spec.pmc", 0xbfbff090) = 
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/mach/File/Spec.pm", O_RDONLY) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Spec.pmc", 0xbfbff090) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Spec.pm", O_RDONLY) = 5

then:
