I dont have any package manager... The people we rent the server from are
absolutely useless and provide no help unless you pay them a small fortune.
My server details are as follows:
Linux 2.6.22-8-server i686 GNU/Linux
Perl 5.8
Spamassassin 3.2.5
 
I may appear thick but when it comes to Linux I am completely lost...

I think I am using qmail if that helps but am unsure as to how to find out
what mail system I am using...?

Can I use CPAN to install it?
