Supporting pair.com is a good idea, I have had an account with them for years. However, they will not permit you to install your own modules unless you can do it in your own directory space. Likewise with CPAN modules - run them in your own directory space otherwise you wont be able to use them at all.

You might have better luck finding what you want if you go to Web Hosting Talk and ask there. You will find plenty of small hosting operators htere who may be willing to help out with a non-standard configuration that the bigger services, like Pair, cannot offer. Who knows, you might even find one who will offer the 'C' library support you want.

Be careful though, more and more small hosting services are being run on 're-sold' machines from operators such as Nocster and run by keen young business-folk, some as young as 14 who whilst being keen, often have only a passing knowledge of PHP and usually none or precious little of Perl.

Good luck! jdtoronto Updated Corrected typo's - thanks BUU
