Hi all!

I need a Perl module that is not installed on our server. How do I go about installing it? do I contact support, or do I do it?

IH only has 717 (yes, 717!!!) Perl modules installed, so that's really the problem... ;)

The module is XML::QL .It can be found at: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MS/MSERGEANT/XML-QL-0.07.tar.gz

thanks,

Hmm,
installed MIME::LITE on a webhost I was on once...
Inside your cgi-bin make a directory called XML and copy the QL.pm file there...
That worked for me on a former host I was on anyway... ;)

Sardtok,

Thank you for the info. I tried to do that and it did not work. So I email support and this was the reply that I got:

*****
End users do not have the ability to install perl modules on the servers that they are on as it requires root access. I'll check that thread, then talk to our server administrator to see if that module won't have any conflicts with any already installed modules. If it does not, which it shouldn't we will then install it for you.

They might have changed things since you last installed that PM.

They installed the PM for me and it works. Now if I could just get my script working... :)

Thanks for your input!
