With the 5.8.3 packages uploaded, @INC now uses "5.8" in @INC for the
CORE directories (matching the soname of libperl.so).  This should
hopefully fix your problem.

Note that the reason a version is in privlib/archlib at is to catch (in
an obvious way) perl module packaging errors with INSTALLDIRS=perl
rather than =vendor.
