What do you do if you can't use Telnet OR ftp? I log on to the net from work and they won't allow either. All my up/downloading is done via http.

Use SSH. <evilgrin>

Seriously, I'm not sure you will be able to install Perl modules simply through http, unless you already happen to have some sort of application on the server which accepts your upload and installs as appropriate.

There are ways you could automate the task, "webbased perl installer", and an "email command installer" are first to come to mind, but all require shell access to the server, at least initially to setup the environement, if you know what I mean.

Good Luck
