What happens if you run `perl -e 'print "$_\n", for(@INC);'` ?

If you installed all of your modules with the help of the distribution, 
it should have upgraded them.  Otherwise, you should probably have the 
pure-perl modules in a directory without the 5.8.8 (and you could just 
keep using them), but you'll need to reinstall anything with binary 
extensions to get them to link on 5.10.
