Hi, You don't need root access, and you ISP shouldn't install those modules to be available for all of their virtual hosts if they don't need them.
You can simply create a directory where you can and then instead just "perl Makefile.pl" do "perl Makefile.pl PREFIX=/home/blabla/youraccount/dir" Then "make", "make test" if you want and "make install". The last will install the module in the /home/blabla/youraccount/dir so you don't need root access for that. Finally make sure you add your new perl modules dir somehow to be included in the client code, this is up to you. ("use lib thedirectory"; or just use the opensrs/lib directory above with PREFIX) Best regards, Doytchin Spiridonov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.WebYou.com Web Design and Development --- Wednesday, January 29, 2003, 8:05:27 PM, you wrote: X> I'm trying to install the latest version on a virtual server.
