    Hi,

    I have a problem moving perl modules, that have been installed in my development environment, to a shared server I don't have command line access to. So I can't use the CPAN shell to install + dependency modules to production.

    I know you can simply copy all .pm's into a directory hierarchy but the amount of dependencies are huge.

    any help or advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks
    Sane

    Are you on a shared hosting account?
    In that case your control over the server structure is limited to none, and if it's been secured properly by the provider, you won't be allowed to install anything on it other than your web scripts.

    Check with your host, they may install the modules for you. Especially if they will benefit other users.

    If not, consider VPS. You can get starter packages for aroung $29 a month, then you can install whatever you want.

    HTH,
