in reply to Modules that get along with use lib

I have the exact same problem actually. The module I want to install is Mime::Lite and I am restricted to ftp access. I tried running the scripts shown in this thread but I received an internal server error and unfortunately I do not have access to the error logs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

    So is there hope that HTML::Mason could work even though it requires yet even more packages that are not on the system by default?
      My understanding is that you would have to install all of those Modules that it uses into your local lib directory specified in your use lib statement. This is only for modules that are not already in the normal @INC path.

      I used to run on eHost (let's not go there) and it was the same kind of FTP and no ssh or telnet type <stuff>. Very limiting. As to faking command line access through a script: Most likely any cgi script you write that opens a system pipe and tries to run commands will fail because the script will most likely run as either your user or as 'nobody'.
