I've compiled a non-threaded perl in /usr/local which seems to work OK
(basic tests). I know the Redhat IC RPM install defaults to using the
perl in /usr/local, but I'm not sure about Debian. Does anyone know if
there is there any way of telling which one it is using?

Rather than doing this with pinning, I have simply set the default to
testing (Sarge) and am selectively installing from unstable.

This is where I came unstuck. Interchange and interchange-ui installed
fine, but interchange-cat-foundation fails. I'm not sure what the error
was (I didn't make a note) but after purging all three packages and
trying again (I thought previous stable versions that I had installed
might be causing problems) I got exactly the same error.
Has anyone installed interchange-cat-foundation 5.2.0-2 from unstable
sucessfully on Sarge?
