It appears that Perl 5.8 no longer installs a /usr/bin/perl5 executable, so running /usr/bin/perl5 is actually still running the old Perl. It sounds like the ISP made a mistake - when removing the old version of Perl, they ought to have either removed this file, or symlinked it to perl5.8.2.
For future versions, I've changed the path-to-perl detection code to look for /usr/bin/perl before /usr/bin/perl5. A couple years, looking for /usr/bin/perl5 was the better option as there were still a few servers out there with /usr/bin/perl being a Perl 4 executable, but hopefully those are rare - any users on such a server will now have to manually change the path to perl, but people installing on new servers won't run into this problem. It won't automatically fix upgrades, although you _could_ change the path to Perl in the config file, and then "upgrade" (even to the same version) your product to have all the paths upgraded for you.
