You could manually download the file and put it in the CGI directory like you said, but the preferred way would be to download the gzipped tarball, extract the contents and run
perl Makefile.PL LIB=/your/perl/lib PREFIX=/your/perl/lib
make
make test
make install
Replace the path after
LIB= and
PREFIX= with where you want it installed (probably in some directory in your home). In the script wher e you plan to use the module, make sure to do a
use lib '/your/perl/lib'; to add the path to @INC.
Also, if you asked, the sysadmin would probably install it site-wide as it is a common and very useful module.
Update Added the PREFIX and use lib ... bits which I forgot before.
