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

Script required two modules: GD.pm and Tie::IxHash. My host have GD.pm, but have no Tie::IxHash. ISP host does not allow install perl modules, therefore I'have been compelled to add this Tie::IxHash module in cgi-bin directory. Since I have no admin right and have no access to a command line, I have created the directory:
/mnt/web_c/d31/s02/a000ras1/cgi-bin/Tie
and copy Tie there.
Then I modify my script: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

# ----------------------------------------------------------
# program:    makehtml.pl
# version:    0.06 m5 build 2000-02-15
# language:    Perl
# license:    GPL (GNU General Public License)
# ----------------------------------------------------------THIS PROGR

# ----------------------------------------------------------

use GD;
use Tie::IxHash;
use lib '/mnt/web_c/d31/s02/a000ras1/cgi-bin';

    Have you tried it? Does it work? If it doesn't, what error(s) do you see?

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

      Not tried yet, not clear, is the order important here?
      use GD;<br>
use Tie::IxHash;<br>
use lib '/mnt/web_c/d31/s02/a000ras1/cgi-bin';

      or
      use GD;<br>
use lib '/mnt/web_c/d31/s02/a000ras1/cgi-bin'; <br>
use Tie::IxHash;

        Which comes first: Telling someone where to find something or telling them to go get that something?
