You'll have to do this from the initial make and set the prefix directory accordingly. So for instance if you want to install in your home directory which is /home/sean/ you'll need to do the following: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/sean/ make make install Then you will not need root/admin privileges, you will however need to modify @INC to know to look in the directory you choose for the library. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles http://frank.wiles.org --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
