and I do it in the meanwhile with the following startup script:
(tweaking the -I flag on perl startup and dealing with PREFIX=...
and a symbolic link "current" pointing to actual version)

I have also a discrete perl installation only for radius, because
I need some modules/versions specific for radius and I will not
pay attention when I upgrade the main perl installation for our
workstations.

Anyway, Hugh and Mike, there are more than one way to solve this
problem with concurrent versions, but I think at least one
solution should be described in the manual or at least in FAQ.

Best regards
