You do have some sort of remote access on the machine, if you can upload CGI scripts.. it's awkward, but you can do something like
#!perl -w use strict; $|++; print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print `ppm install Some::Module`;
(Of course you might be able to use ppm directly inside your script, but I don't know if you can integrate calls to it into a script like you can with CPAN.)

ppm has to have some option to let you install things to specified rather than the default directories (which would require Administrator access), and a switch to run non-interactively..

This is just a crutch, but at least it works.

Makeshifts last the longest.
