Captcha::reCAPTCHA is pure Perl and wouldn't require root access to use a local copy. Just install it into a local user directory and use 'use lib' so that your CGI script will find it. I haven't found Captcha:reCAPTCHA to be the world's easiest software to use, but it's OK. This example is derived from one of the posted examples; you may find it useful. Note that I'm assuming that your Captcha::reCAPTCHA library is installed into a local directory, and that you've situated your public and private key files appropriately. Note that for security reasons these key files (especially the private one) shouldn't be located within web-browsable disk space. HTH ... Read more... (2 kB)	[reply] [d/l]

Agreed that captcha services generally seem to be the way to go. The one I've used before is captchas.net (via WebService::CaptchasDotNet), but ReCAPTCHA looks like its text may be easier (for humans) to recognize.	[reply]
