Oh *very* cool trick Kevin.  Thanks for sharing!

I want to install RequestTracker 3.x (www.bestpractical.com/rt) on a box 
and was avoiding it because the Perl dependencies are true hell for that 
program, but it does work very well once installed.

Now I have a way to give it a try without completely blowing up the perl 
packaging... happy happy.
