Re: Uploading Perl modules without shell access

You are getting the error because FindBin makes use of $0, which is set by the evil outside world. But you don't trust the evil outside world when you run with -T, so you get the error.

However, if you put the modules in /modules, you don't need FindBin. Just do a use lib "/modules"; before using any of the other modules.

Hi, I tried this earlier and it worked fine for HTML::Template but not for Text::CSV. Here's the import code: `use lib 'modules'; use HTML::Template; use Text::CSV;` [download] Here's the error: `Can't locate modules/auto/Text/CSV/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: modules .. (more perl directories)` [download] I don't understand the /auto subdirectory, or why it's unable to find Text::CSV (it is located in modules/Text/CSV). Thanks for your help :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

From the error message, it seems like `Text::CSV` is more than just the file `Text/CSV.pm`. Did you install all parts? Abigail	[reply]

There is only one part to Text:CSV. The problem is it use of Autoload which is easily worked around. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
