This is what I did on my system to fix the problem:

mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Cyrus
mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Cyrus/IMAP
ln /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cyrus/IMAP/IMAP.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/IMAP.so
ln /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP.pm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Cyrus/IMAP.pm
ln /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm
ln /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Shell.pm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Cyrus/IMAP/Shell.pm

note that mine is i386 and yours is i586

hope this helps.
