help with perl for "check" script

I am a newbie to this - your help would be very much appreciated.  It appears that when I try to validate a url, the "check" script goes and look for an older version of perl (error below), how do I point the script to look at the newer version of perl?
 
 

Software error:

Can't locate Config/General.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl) at /usr/local/validator/htdocs/check line 46.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root@localhost <mailto:root@localhost> ), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. 

 

Newer version perl is:

[root@seahawk root]# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i686-linux
