You might be stuck between a rock and a hard place, depending what the admin give you access to...

    Hi, It seems many have faced same question of UNIX admin not allowing your wanted modules like XML::parser etc. Can any one please help me in installing XML modules in my home directory and using it for the development work? Thanks Saumil
