Hi Monks,
I'm not very fluent in English, but I ran into a problem that I couldn't solve on the Japanese question forum, so I decided to ask here.

Assumptions:

I have a contract with one of the major rental servers in Japan and run Perl CGI scripts on that server.
Unfortunately, in my contract, I don't have write permission for the Perl installation directory on that server, and can't connect SSH so I can't upgrade the module version.

Details of the problem:

Here is the problem I encountered this time.
I wrote ' use Encode; use Net::IMAP::Client; (or use Mail::IMAPClient;) ' because I wanted to use these two or three modules on the same script.
But the server returns the error below.

-----------------------------------------
Encode version 2.87 required--this is only version 2.68 at ../lib_ext/
+Email/MIME/ContentType.pm line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../lib_ext/Email/MIME/ContentType
+.pm line 7.
-----------------------------------------

It says the ContentType.pm line 7 in Net::IMAP::Client requires the Encode version 2.87, even though the server has Encode version 2.68 module.
Unfortunately, I don't have permission to write to the Perl installation directory as already mentioned above.
So I installed the Encode-2.87.tar.gz downloaded from his CPAN in the user directory (../lib_ext) instead of XAMPP/Perl's standard lib directory on my Windows machine.
And I copied following generated files and folders to the server's user directory (../lib_ext).
File: Encode.pm/Encoding.pm/perllocal.pod
Directory: auto/encode
And when I added 'BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "../lib_ext") };' to the top of my script and ran it, the server returned the following error.

-----------------------------------------
Encode object version 2.68 does not match bootstrap parameter 2.87 at 
+/usr/local/perl/5.10/lib/5.10.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.
+pm line 223.
Compilation failed in require at my_script.pl line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at my_script.pl line 8.

My question:

Can someone please tell me how to use a module with a different version than the server's standard module?
Thank you for your patience in reading to the end.
