I would recommend that you leave the threaded perl alone since there may be 
things on the system that depend on the threaded perl.

If you search the ic site for "perl interchange faq" you will get a 
document that explains how to install a local perl that only the ic user 
will use.  The directions are almost exactly the same for Perl 5.8.3, 
accept when you install the cpan module use "Bundle::Interchange5".  You 
should then have a local non threaded perl that works with IC and all it's 
modules.

Good luck!
