Multiple Perl Releases

In a previous thread, I am attempting to clear a problem with the Perl 
Modules in a server which had multiple releases of Perl.  To document 
this, I offer the following:

 cd /usr/lib/perl5
[root@jamaica perl5]# ls
5.8.5/  5.8.6/  site_perl/  vendor_perl/
[root@jamaica perl5]# ls site_perl
5.8.5/  5.8.6/
[root@jamaica perl5]# ls vendor_perl/
5.8.1/  5.8.2/  5.8.3/  5.8.4/  5.8.5/  5.8.6/

I am not certain about the search characteristics of perl, but I also 
offer the following:

[root@jamaica perl5]# which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[root@jamaica perl5]# ll /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 5 May 25 16:12 /usr/bin/perl -> perl5*
[root@jamaica perl5]# ll /usr/bin/perl5
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 9 May 25 16:12 /usr/bin/perl5 -> perl5.8.6*
[root@jamaica perl5]# ll /usr/bin/perl5.8.6
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root root 10232 Dec  6  2005 /usr/bin/perl5.8.6*


Does this mean that perl ONLY loads the information in perl5, site_perl 
and vendor_perl for version 5.8.6?

Can I safely remove any of the other versions?

Any help in clarifying this problem would be appreciated:

Can't locate object method "finish" via package "DBI::db" at 
/var/www/html/.ServAdmin/ServerAdministrator.pm line 70.

Can anyone tell me which package is being used?

TIA
