"While you cannot update the host’s set of installed libraries, you can create a new subdirectory, point the local cpan(m) command to it, install CPAN packages there, and arrange for that library to occur in the PERL5LIB library search list when your application runs. When you do this, Perl will see your locally-installed packages first."

What you say makes sense, but I don't have access to the server... It's a Yahoo Small Business server and all I can do is FTP files up...

What I do to get perl modules uploaded is first run the package on my laptop installation of cygwin with perl as follows:

 cpanm -vf --local-lib /home/dirname/perl5 LWP::Protocol::https

This forces installation into a directory I can control vs. cpan updating a directory that was installed as a package with the perl installation.
Then I use FileZilla to upload to a directory I create to hold all the perl modules my code needs to run.

Then place code in the perl .pl file to
 use lib "../lib4";
Which puts my path to the front of the path list.

Thank you very much for your help...
