The issue occurs if you upgrade perl to something other than what shipped with your OS. So if you haven't upgraded perl, then you are just fine. I.e., it is not specifically that perl 5.8.8 is "bad". It just wasn't what was shipped with CentOS4. Since 5.8.8 is what ships with CentOS5, it should be just fine, assuming you are using the 5.8.8 that shipped.
