Installing CPAN modules on a remote server

johnta1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am a real newbie. So take it easy on me. :) I have a web site on a server with cgi. I have a cgi program that worked before but now says I need LWP simple. It says to get it do this: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP' Now for the newbie question. How do I do that? Do I do that from a FTP program,from a browser? The server has a DirectAdmin panel but I didn't see anywhere on how to do this there either.

you would run perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP' from the command line, if you don't have access to a command line talk to the system administrator and get him/her to install it. "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum - I think that I think, therefore I think that I am." Ambrose Bierce	[reply]
