I believe all you have to do is put the DBI.pm and ODBC.pm in your @INC
variable somewhere and then you can call and use them as if they were
already installed.  So upload them to a direcotory somewhere on your new
webhosting company and then add :

push(@inc, '/u/web/YOURHOSTINGDIRECTORY/WHEREYOUPUTTHE.PMFILES/');

to the head of your perl scripts.

Not to drag things back on topic or anything, but is the answer "you're
screwed"?

Thanks.
