It appears that you have an old copy of Data/Dumper.pm hanging about
somewhere.
Run "locate Data/Dumper | xargs dpkg -S". With 5.8.0 you should see:
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/auto/Data/Dumper
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.bs
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/Data/Dumper.pm
perl-doc: /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/Data/Dumper.pod
Anything else, particularly in /usr/lib/perl5 is what is causing your
problem.
