I have the same problem with a client of mine -- unfortunately, unless you
have your own server, your stuck with their setup.
I've gotten around the problem using the I switch in the shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/perl -I./lib
after than, I can include any module living in my lib directory the same
way I include those in the regular lib directory:
use strict;
use X;
use Web::X; # which is in a directory called Web in my lib directory
This has worked for me both with UNIX type servers, as well as with Windows
(ugh!) servers.
