You can always use your own modules by placing them in a directory in your
cgi-bin (I usually make one called "lib"). In your shebang line, you use
the -I switch to include that directory in Perl's hunt for modules. ie, if
I have a module MyModule.pm in cgi-bin/lib, I can access it thusly:
#!/usr/bin -I./lib
use MyModule;
done!
the only problem will be if a module requires funky processing with make,
etc. Then you'd have to have root access to the server, which you probably
can't get, and you'll have to ask your provider to install the module for you.
