Hello: I am a newbie to perl - well I know how to install scripts and make them run on my host. But that is about it! Now I have a problem - I changed hosts and went to load my site and all the cgi-scripts. Everything is fine EXCEPT the LWP:simple.pm module is not installed on my server/host. And one of my scripts requires this. I contacted them (Host) to see if they would install it for me and - basically they said do it yourself or hire a professional. Now I do not have root access and I can only use FTP. Is there a way in lamens terms to do this? They are running Perl Version 5.006 which I have a list of the modules and NO the one I need is not there. And the Host is leaving it up to me to get it there. HELP! I need to get this done. Thank You, Laurie
