re not installing modules: You can install the Text::Template module in a directory within your own home directory, and then use the following at the start of your code: 
use lib '~myname/path/to/perl/modules'
use Text::Template

[download]
use lib simply adds the list of paths that you specify to the front of @INC and thus they get searched first for any modules. While you can't easily maintain the modules with CPAN, you can still grab the source for each, and specify YOUR directory for all install work. Screw your naughty sysadmin :D
