Actually another trick to be aware of is the fact that some providers (like http://ipowerweb.com) permit you to upload a .htaccess file.

How would this be a help? Well..

You can set up a .htaccess file in the directory that your script is located, then set the PERL5LIB environment variable to point to the directory in which you stored your uploaded (FTP'd) CPAN modules. In particular, look into the SetEnv directive.

At a guess I would suggest a .htaccess file that looks like:

  <Files ~ "\.pl$">
    Options +ExecCGI
    SetHandler cgi-script

    SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/myusername/myperl/lib
  </Files>
