The normal installation procedure can be followed but you will need to specify a prefix to install into, such as, perl Makefile.pl PREFIX=/home/jay/perl5lib make make test make install Then in your scripts you would use, use lib '/home/jay/perl5lib'; Alternatively, perldoc FindBin I assume you know how to download the source tar ball from CPAN over the web and get it onto the machine yourself. Note that XML::Simple has at least one dependency of a base XML module, the same procedure should work for most of today's modules. Additionally some XML modules (including potential dependencies of XML::Simple) rely on the expat c libraries. I leave that as an exercise for the reader, though if the reader gives it an honest go and gets stuck, give us a ring and we will get it sorted.... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
