I know that its more of a >unix question, but I hope that there is something that can be done. Do a google search for "installing perl modules locally". Basically what you do is: 1. Make a directory for your local libs in your homedir, say Perl5 2. Put in your .bashrc "export PERL5LIB=/home/user/Perl5" 3. When you make modules, and do "make Makefile.pl", you add the prefix= configuration option, like: perl Makefile.pl --prefix=/home/username You may need to "tweak" the --prefix location to get it where you want. Just try a module and see where it installs, then adjust accordingly. If you are allowed access to the c compiler, you should be able to have any module you want....even your own version of Perl. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. http://zentara.net/japh.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
