Great if on the 'net. Unfortunately, I'm putting this on my laptop, which has a
softmodem, for which I could not find linux software. I only have one IP
address, and I haven't figured out IP masquerading yet, or if it's possible to
have a network share one IP address on the internet. (that would be a good
topic for a Thursday night clinic, IMOHO;)
The Debian modules and executables are in /usr/lib/perl5 (appearantly perl
5.6.0 doesn't like this generic path) and /usr/lib/perl5/Debian
Here's how I did it (as if anyone cares):
lap:/usr/local/perl# sh Configure
<defaults until...>
Installation prefix to use? (~name ok) [/usr/local] /usr
<defaults until...>
Do you want to configure vendor-specific add-on directories? [n] y
Installation prefix to use for vendor-supplied add-ons? (~name ok)
/usr/lib/perl5/Debian
Pathname for the vendor-supplied library files? (~name ok)
[/usr/lib/perl5/Debian/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.0] /usr/lib/perl5/Debian
<defaults until...>
Installation prefix to use for add-on modules and utilities? (~name ok) [/usr]
/usr/lib/perl5
<defaults until...>
Pathname where the add-on public_executables should be installed? (~name ok)
[/usr/lib/perl5/bin] /usr/lib/perl5
<defaults until...>
Pathname for the vendor-supplied executables directory? (~name ok)
[/usr/lib/perl5/bin] /usr/lib/perl5
<defaults to the end>

I haven't had any problems yet, but it's only been a couple of days. At least
dpkg works now. (I didn't move and link all the files at first)
