You don't need root access to install a module. You simply need to save it into a specific location such as /usr/local/path/to/MyModules/ModName.pm. Then include the module in your code using the lib pragma, like so:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib "/usr/local/path/to";     # Notice where this path ends... :)

use MyModules::ModName;
# Other use statements...
# ...on with other code...

This should work as long as the module is packaged into 'MyModules::ModName'. If it's a pre-existing module you're working with, alter the path in the lib statement and name in the use statement, accordingly. :)

At least that's the way I've done it. If this is incorrect, I'm certain someone will correct me. I'd even go so far as to appreciate it! :)

Hope this helps,
