You can also create/install modules without having telnet access, but it's
like working on a black box. If something goes wrong, it's kludgey to get
it to work. I hacked together this quick little script - after copying the
module package folder over to the server via FTP, then I just call this
script from my web browser to have the server do the perl Makefile.PL, etc.
You will also have to modify any scripts that you write that need these
modules & modify their lib path by saying:
use lib "/path/to/perl/lib";
-----
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
$|++;
print $query->header();
chdir "/u200/figsnet/cgi-bin/test";
print "About to perl Makefile<BR>\n";
system "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/u200/figsnet/perl >>
/u200/figsnet/logs/make_log";
print "Done ... 'make'<BR>\n";
system "make >> /u200/figsnet/logs/make_log";
print "Done ... 'make test'<BR>\n";
system "make test >> /u200/figsnet/logs/make_log";
print "Done ... 'make install'<BR>\n";
system "make install >> /u200/figsnet/logs/make_log";
print "Done ... check out the make_log<BR>\n";
