What I am trying to do is be able to run in two different modes.  Normal
and LKP(Linux Kernel Personality).  The code I need to be able to run does
not exist for my OS (OpenUNIX 8).  I have interchange had interchange
runing in in Normal mode with my catalogs.  My Card Card Software was
available for linux and when I typed linux I could run it and the linux
version of perl.  What I needed to do was have interchange run in LKP mode
and communicate with the Normal mode.  These patches allowed interchange
to be called from Normal mode but in in LKP mode.  What I have to do a

-----------------interchange-local-----------------------------
PREFIX=/linux/usr/local/interchange.new \
INSTALLSCRIPT=/linux/usr/local/interchange.new/bin \
INSTALLBIN=/linux/usr/local/interchange.new/bin \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/linux/usr/local/man \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/linux/usr/local/man/man3
-----------------interchange-local-end-------------------------


/linux/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL `cat interchange-local`
make
make install

and then everything works so it is not as bad as you make it sound.  The
Config.pm file is the Config.pm for the linux version of perl.
