It depends on the upgrade. For 5.8.8 -> 5.8.9 then perl-after-upgrade works fine: this is because there is binary compatibility so that .so modules compiled for 5.8.8 will load just fine into 5.8.9. The work of perl-after-upgrade is simply to move files from /usr/local/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.8 to .../5.8.9 For the upgrade from 5.8.[89] to 5.10.0, there is no binary compatibility= so all perl modules that install loadable binaries will have to be recompiled. Rather than trying to produce a long list of what modules are pure perl and what aren't the advice is simply to reinstall everythin= g.
