Thanks, that is what I have been trying.  I also found I have to use the
following as interchange-local with /linux/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL `cat
interchange-local` .

PREFIX=/linux/usr/local/interchange.new \
INSTALLPRIVLIB=/linux/usr/local/lib/perl5 \
INSTALLSCRIPT=/linux/usr/local/bin/interchange.new/bin \
INSTALLSITELIB=/linux/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl \
INSTALLBIN=/linux/usr/local/bin/interchange.new/bin \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/linux/usr/local/man \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/linux/usr/local/man/man3

This allows me to in the src directory to run successfully with all tests
passing.

$ /linux/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL `cat interchange-local`
$ make
$ make test

but

$make install

make install does not create the

/usr/local/interchange.new/bin

directory with the needed files in it.  I did copy the files from the
Normal mode and edited them and it seems to work.  I was just curious now
as to why the bin directory and file are not created.

Thanks,
