Thanks everyone for your ideas. Unfortunately, they all seem to rely on having some sort of access to a command prompt.
The virtual servers I use have NO SSH, telnet, prompt, shell access, root access, nothing! I think that's why it's so tricky! I'm looking for an 'extra' host I think that does offer SSH just for my domain registrations. Thanks again all!

I'm trying to install the latest version on a virtual server. No help from the ISP, but been able to install the easy modules by simply placing the files in /lib. I'm left with Unicode:String and XML:Parser that won't work. Does anyone know a way of installing these modules without any root access or help from ISP?! I think I might need a pre-compiled version (but might be wrong!) Any help, greatfully appreciated. Simon
