The problem here is that cpanp-5.10 has a #! line that refers to /opt/ 
local/bin/perl

If you just want perl 5.10, you can uninstall perl5.8 and add a  
symlink in /opt/local/bin so that /opt/local/bin/perl -> /opt/local/ 
bin/perl5.10.0

There has been some discussion about how to fix this, and hopefully  
there will be updated perl port(s) soon.
