Want to find out how to get around this whole thread perl issue. I try to recompile
perl but that breaks the modules then I try to reinstall the module using -MCPAN
but that does not work module still broke.

If you build a custom Perl for IC, it's best to build it so that it installs in a completely separate location (eg /usr/local/icperl) rather than overwriting the system packages (shudder) or even the default /usr/local/(bin,share,lib,etc) locations.

That way, your system Perl can be maintained by whatever package manager your distro provides, and your IC Perl build can be maintained via CPAN.

We use two different Debian releases here (old and ancient <g>); IIRC I've seen reports of RedHat 7.mumble through EL (and source-rebuild derivatives), Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, and even one or two nuts running IC on Fedora Core. ;)
