I use the following procedure:

• Click on the link in CPAN and select "Open this file from its current location";
• Use Webdrive (an ftp client that maps remote computers as additional drives) to connect to my server;
• Drag 'n' Drop the file Module.pm to a directory on my server (say usr/www/lib;
• Insert the line use lib '/usr/www/lib' before calling the module.

Of course, if you don't have Webdrive, you wd have to save the file from the module by dragging 'n' dropping to your desktop or wherever, and then use whatever ftp client you have to upload it.

This is a pretty Windoze-oriented way to do things, and it only works for "pure" Perl modules, but when it works it's very easy.
