With respect to asking them to install those various modules, if my understanding is correct, even if you can't get htem to install the modules you should be able to install them into your personal file space and call them from there, though there may be compilation issues (of the modules themselves that is), and manipulation of @INC, etc. I defer to the "elders" on this matter, though it worked for me when my hosting provider wouldn't install Email::Valid (granted this is a much simpler module). http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
