Thanks for the reply. I've done the custom perl thing before and would
rather avoid it if possible. Sticking to the OS-supplied packages makes
applying security patches relatively painless. Does anyone know if
Ubuntu/Debian's perl is threaded? I'm using the stock perl on my Centos5
machine and it seems to be ok.
