how do i add a module to my webserver. the win32::OLE module is not installed on the server and i need to use it in my script.

thanks,....

p.s. yes i did contact the web host for installing the module for me but they unfortunately told me that i will have to upgrade to a paid account to be able to get this done from them. So i have to do this myself.

....thanx,.....

update: i tried to install the perl module on my webserver with the help of a script which can run commands and do some other things on the webserver machine(which has perl on it). i got this script from the writeup on 'installing perl modules without shell access'. i succeeded till the stage where the files are extracted and i can see the makefile.pl file (among other files) in the 'build' directory under the root directory ,on the webserver . now comes the stage when the perl makefile.pl command has to be executed. when i do that, it gives an error : 'OS unsupported'. what does this mean? anyone who has installed perl modules on there computer and have perl on their computer, could be able to explain to me how to get around this error. thanx, ketaki
