Any reason why you can't use the Debian interchange package? apt-cache show interchange > Interchange 'requires' non-threaded Perl.

Only on per script basis. I.e. you have to do: use lib '/usr/local/share/perl'; at the beginning of each script in order to change @INC. > I also would like to set up webmin to manage > the second Perl installation.

By default that will be /usr/bin/cpan but you can change the configuration to use /usr/local/bin/cpan if you have it. The problem with installing modules seems to be PATH related. Are you sure you were invoking the right copy of CPAN? -- Jaldhar H.
