You can probably install it to a directory within your user account. Then, in your script, you'll need to state: `use lib qw( /path/to/user/site/lib );` Dave	[reply] [d/l]

you can if you have shell access. when you run the make file you'll tell where you want the module files `perl Makefile.PL LIB=/path/to/module PREFIX=/path/to/module` [download] tells your script where to find the module `use lib qw(/path/to/module);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
