Please forgive what I'm sure is a really stupid question - but the fact is I've never been in a situation where I didn't have root access to install my modules.
I need to get DBI on a web server where I have no SSH/Telnet access, if I take DBI.pm off my local machine and put it on the web server and then use the old "use lib /path to DBI.pm/;" it seems to work. My question is, is there anything bad about doing this? Does it make a difference if the make process is done on the machine that is doing the hosting? Could I be looking at unforeseen problems down the line? P.S. In case it matters I'm using mySql Thanks -Chris
