I am not alltogether certain what you are doing, but I suggest you look at 
http://www.gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/contact.pl and then download the latest version of 
CGI::ContactForm

It is a "pure" perl module so can be installed in your own directory.

It probably meets all your concerns

Alternative to Storable

[Jan Eden]

Hi all,

I just wrote a CGI script using the Storable module, which works fine on my machine. 
The script retrieves a complex hash and either prints it out or updates it and stores 
it back.

But my ISP does not have Storable installed.

Is there a way to install Storable in my home dir on the server? Is it a pure Perl 
module in this respect?

I tried to use a simple dbm file instead (DB_file) and tie it to hash, but since the 
original hash has a complex structure with references, this did not work. I'd like to 
avoid a real database for this task, but if you think there is no other way, I will go 
there.

Thanks,

- Jan

Just found out about MLDBM. I will give it a try.
