You Don't want to uninstall Perl 5.10.x that ships with Ubuntu. That's the system Perl. Don't touch it. If you want to run another version of Perl download it and install it to another path:
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/Your/other/path/here
make test
make install
Update: Different major versions or Perl aren't binary compatible, (e.g. 5.8.x to 5.10.x), you can't expect modules with aren't pure Perl to work without reinstalling said modules.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
