If I were you I would ask the sysadmins again.  Then I would ask 
their boss, and keep going until the final authority said that no such
help should be given.

What you want to do should be a very simple matter. On unix you 
would want to know where perl and sendmail are located.  

http://www.rede.com/cgi-bin/aboutserver.pl

You can get that script via my samples directory. It is not well-
written but you can see that it provides some info.

Note that it is set for use on my system at iserver.  Cgi's run at 
iserver cannot access programs or files outside of a user's space.  
On every other host I have worked on that is not true.  

So where I have this for use at iserver:

@perlv = `/usr/local/bin/perl5.00401 -V`;

you would do this almost anywhere else:

@perlv = `perl5 -V`;

and 

$mail = `./whereis sendmail`;

would be 

$mail = `whereis sendmail`;
