The only requirement is that, to handle password authentication, it needs Expect. If you use public/private key pairs for authentication exclusively (that's what you should be doing anyway), no additional modules are required. Just (recursively) copy the contents of the `lib` directory to the right place in your server and you are done with the installation!	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks Salva, Yes I would do that except in this case I have not way to copy into the server since I dont have permission to copy anything into the perl5lib directory. I was doing to put it in my custom lib path somewhere and try this. I know they have expect stuff installed, but when I did a use on the SMTP package it could not find it. -Wayne	[reply]

Copy the modules you want to use into a directory under your home (for instance: `/home/wayne/lib/perl5`) and then, add at the beginning of your scripts... `use lib => '/home/wayne/lib/perl5/';` [download] Actually, most modules can be installed in a custom place just using the `Makefile.PL PREFIX` option. For instance, on my system: `$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/ $ make $ make test $ make install` [download] will install the module under `/home/salva/share/perl/5.10.0/`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
