OK! You are right! I've rebuild my old perl once more and I've a new
perl beside of my old perl. The old perl is in /usr/bin and the new perl
is in /usr/local/bin.

Question:
How can I IC tell to use /usr/local/bin/perl instead of /usr/bin/perl
and how can i tell IC setup to use the cpan from perl 5.6.1 instead of
cpan from perl 5.005.x? Should I use "/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL"
and that is all?
We have a lot of old script for the old perl.

Thanks!

Joachim
