[rt-users] Telling a web site to user Perl 5.8

[josh]

I am trying to set up a test server because when I screw up the main
httpd server around hear it stop a lot of things people care about (as
I found out today). It should be up sometime tomorrow - and I can try
to install RT on it - though it won't have mail working, it should be
enough to generate precise error messages.

The only reason I restarted my web server was actually to read in the
new configuration file and of course it goes without saying that I try
to blindly follow the instruction in the README, interpreting them
literally and implementing them without thinking.

I believe my problem may be as simple (or complicated) as the user rt
runs as. The user for me is httpd, and if I "su - httpd" , that user
inherits the default perl 5.6. I just did that and issued "perl -v".
So I need a way for the web pages to either automatically alter the
default perl for the installation, create a different user for RT to
run as, or find a way to designate which perl to use for the website.
