Bear in mind that the modules are still under the control of the package
manager.  If you really want it to be a 'separate perl' you need to pay
attention to them and build them in such a way that your @INC does not
overlap with that provided by the package manager but still provides
everything IC needs.  I'd suggest your 'interchange' user build its
own perl in its own home directory complete with all the modules.
