You do not need root access to install CPAN modules, as described at:

• Yes, even you can use CPAN

Can you please explain in more detail why you "do not have access to install anything"?

I am working on a script to be uploaded to a server for everyone to use. But I have no right to install new module on the server, and the admin ask me whether there is another solution or not without installing new module. So can I install the module at a directory that I have access? Can other user with read but not write permission to that particular directory run the code successfully?

What Corion is telling you above is to ask your systems admin if the command bunzip2 is already installed. On lots of Linux systems this command is installed as part of the OS. If the sysadmin's answer is "yes", then you can use the technique above that Corion has shown you.

For example, below is my login session to Linux system which I do not control, but it has the bunzip2 command already installed.

[myid@corphost4~](155) $ uname
