Looking at the contents of the update (via Flat Package Editor and  
lsbom), it appears that, as well as /usr/bin/perl, its shared library  
and its documentation, the entire set of standard XS-based modules in / 
System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto has been  
replaced. This makes sense: they depend on the shared perl library,  
which has been updated.

This means that restoring the following from a back-up (if you have  
one) should do the trick:

/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/
/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl-5.8.8
/usr/bin/perlbug

although this will leave you with an installation suffering from the
arcane malformed Unicode-related security issue that the update was
supposed to address. (See <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3438>.)
