I emailed my system administrator and asked if he would install ImageMagick for me. I had talked to many people who said that when they asked their sys admins, they installed it for them. Mine said he would not. I asked if I could get ssh access to install it myself on my own account (ssh comes with the next level package with my hosting company). He replied and said that no I could not get ssh access and now that the software would not be installed on his system. I assume he means that if I were to install it myself, I would break some contract and he would uninstall it for me.

Now what could I do? Do any of you know of any binaries (for fbsd 4.7) that can be uploaded by ftp and will meet the requirements for my PerlMagick?
