(using perl Makefile.PL --PREFIX=/yourhomedirectory/lib), then set the environment variable
PERL5LIB=/yourhomedirectory/lib, the next time you run CPAN, it will create your .cpan config stuff
under your home directory and install subsequent modules into you private lib directory.
then in your scripts you can include:
use lib '/yourhomedirecttoy/lib';
use otherModules;
But if you do not have access to gcc or any other complier, then modules like MD5 that require compliing would fail regardless.

Hi guys,If only life were that simple. I'm living on a virtual server and I'm
limited by privilege in what I can do. I tried using CPAN first but it
crashes. Either it's installed incorrectly by superuser or it too suffers
from limited privileges in this environment. Anyhow I've been downloading
the tar files and literally placing the modules in the Apache directory by
hand one at a time. Now that you've told me MD5 is looking for Digest::MD5
I will add a "use lib qw(/../)" to MD5.pm so it can find it. Hopefully
that will get me to the next error in line!Is there no way to alter @INC so it keeps the new libraries once I've added
them? So far it appears that all I can do is put a "use lib qw(/../)"
statement in every module?Joel Cohen, Ph.D.
