Hey,
One of the problems is i cannot install any modules, for many reasons. Is there a way i can do this w/o the use of a module/funcion that isnt built into perl?

Thanks,

Dipul

    If you are using ActiveState's Perl for Win32, use PPM. If you are having trouble in Unix, as an alternative to perl -MCPAN -e shell try:
    1. Download the module from CPAN.
    2. Extract the files with tar.
    3. Descend into the module directory and run:
      perl Makefile.PL && make && make check && make install

    And that should do it!

      With ActiveState, Date::Calc is already installed

    ImpallaSS, Go to whoever's in charge of these things and say : "I can do this in $time the way things are currently set up. However, if you give me access to the tools I need, including the ability to get modules installed, it could be $time2, saving the company $lots."

    It might be that they have a sysadmin install the modules for you; you might not need to do it on your own. But, based on some of the talk we've had in the chatterbox, you're trying to do a complicated thing that could be simplified a hundred fold if you had access to the correct tools. Explain to management what you need, and why. Present your case in terms of money saved, or time saved.

    You can install modules for your own personal use. I can't install any since I don't have root access here at the university.

    After much searching I discovered if you do:

    perl Makefile.PL LIB='/some/dir' PREFIX='/some/dir'

    You can then use modules you install in /some/dir. You just add:

    use LIB '/some/dir'

    in the top of your Perl program.
