yeahhh, sorry about that.  With two normal installs, you would be able
to do what you want.  The Debian packages can also be run in parallel,
but the RPMs dump RT into @INC which pollutes the box for any other RT
installs.

You could build your own recent perl into /opt/perl and use that to
install RT.
