Thanks a lot to those that responded to my plea for help. Here's
the collected help for those that might need it in the future.

Somewhere in the archives (which I can't find again!) I read:
<quote>
% perl5 Makefile.PL PREFIX=/user_defined_directory
% make
% make test
% make install
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** All of these methods fail. Here's the message were it goes wrong
near the end of the output from "make test":
Error (probably harmless):
Can't locate Crypt/CBC.pm in @INC (@INC contains: blib/arch blib/lib /usr/local/
lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos /usr/local/

_perl/5.005 . . .. ../lib ../../lib ../../../lib) at (eval 1) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 2.
** Of course, "make install" will probably fail - and sure enough, it does with
the following error:
coffeebeanshop: {7} % make install
mkdir /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts: Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.0
0503/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 57
*** Error code 2
Stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** ?Permission denied? I can make a directory there via my FTP
program. So why can't he "make test" executable?
** Any more ideas? For the right $$ I'd pay someone via PayPal.com
to get this installed. But I'd sure hate to give up - I'm stubborn
that way. Write me offlist ( mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) if you
would like to discuss doing this for pay.
Thanks for the preceding help - and in advance for any future solutions.
