I fixed it, I did "chmod -s cgifile" where cgifile is the catalog file eg
/cgi-bin/foundation or whatever it was called and now it works, I am missing
all the admin graphics but I suspect this will be easier to fix.

For anyone who finds this in the future, it is possible to install local perl
(5.6.2) including DBD::mysql and compile interchange (5.2.0) without root
access and run it, don't give up! By the way I am playing with this on a
Hostroute re-seller account via SSH access, NOT using the cpanel, they removed
the cpanel script anyway.

Regards,
Andy.
