Will,

I remember Mike Heins or someone saying that changing the

#!/usr/bin/perl

at the top of each executable file in the /usr/lib/interchange/bin 
directory

to

/usr/local/bin/perl



will do the trick.

I can't remember if that was the end of story, but that would have to be 
pretty close to being correct,
