Thanks for your clues.  It is now working allright.

The first problem was solved thanks to your info.  The CPAN modules that I
installed were for perl5.005 and I had to update them for perl5.6.1.  No
problems whatsoever during the update with any module.

Then, another important issue with cobalt servers seems to be cgiwrap.  I
have searched in the cobalt knowledge base and the info there is confusing,
as many people have tried it with no results.  In addition I didn't want to
disable cgiwrap for the whole server, but only for the website that will use
interchange.

Finally it is fully working.  Let's start with it.

Best regards

Francisco
