if you have the perl module you want you can do a
perldoc -m FOO::BAR
and actually see what is going on in the FOO::BAR module.
the trick at that point is knowing if you will have to
replicate all of it in your script - or the simpler part
of cutting and pasting a few segments into your script.
If your ISP allows you a "home directory" with a 'shell account'
then you could do the alternative strategy of installing the
modules into
$HOME/lib/perl5
and then using the
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5";
to prepend that location to your @INC and the rest is
the usual
use FOO::BAR;
until your ISP decides that they will install FOO::BAR
and/or upgrade to the release of perl that will include
or is required for it.
Remember that perl modules that were built on or after 5.6
may include the 'use warnings' pragma that will not work in
prior releases such as 5.005_003 that is the default install
on solaris 8 hosts
