Because you are trying to install package which is compiled against perl-5.10.*
while you have perl-5.8.8-* installed.

% Trying to install Newt from CPAN gives me the following:
% 
% button.c:1:19: error: slang.h: No such file or directory

I guess this is part of slang-devel package.

% And then gives Cannot Make error (even though slang is installed)
