in thread adding modules

Do you have command-line (shell) access to your web server (i.e. can you use telnet or SSH to connect to your server and get a prompt), or are you constrained to a Web-based interface or FTP only?

In the first case, you will need to transfer the module tarball(s) to your web server, then use the command line on the server (as opposed to the C prompt on your PC) to execute the commands described in the tutorial.

In the second case, unfortunately, you'll have to pony up the cash for a paid account, or find another web host that does not treat the installation of Perl modules as a service for which a fee is demanded. Good luck finding the latter, though!

    i tried to install the perl module on my webserver with the help of a script which can run commands and do some other things. i got this script from the writeup on 'installing perl modules without shell access'. i succeeded till the stage where the files are extracted and i can see the makefile.pl file (among other files) in the 'build' directory under the root directory ,on the webserver . now comes the stage when the perl makefile.pl command has to be executed. when i do that, it gives an error : 'OS unsupported'. what does this mean? anyone who has installed perl modules on there computer and have perl on their computer, could be able to explain to me how to get around this error. thanx, ketaki
