For production I run CentOS (RHEL); for these I install a local Perl for
Interchange as suggested by Kevin and Kris.

Then of course you are maintaining two Perl installations; you just have
to keep this in mind as you go on with things like mod_perl and so on.

My test platform is Gentoo (and I may start using Gentoo for some of my
production machines) - you can build Perl without threads very easily
once you understand Portage basics. The flexibility of Gentoo suits some
 of my preferences, like Apache2 and MySQL 5.
