using Perl module when host admin does not install it ?

[Jazeker]

Hello,

Sorry if this question has been asked before. I was wondering if I
could use a Perl module when your host is not inclined to do any
installs for you. I need CSV_XS for a test project, but my hosting
company does not have it installed and they do not support their Perl
functionality.

Is there a way to put the package somewhere in my hosting space and lure
Perl into using it ?

Thank you

If you have shell access (so that you can compile the XS code),

There is no need to apologize for asking an already-asked question.

There is however, a need to apologize for asking a Frequently
Asked Question (like yours).

You should check the Perl FAQ *before* posting to the Perl newsgroup.

Then you will need access to a C compiler to install the module.

perldoc -q module

How do I install a module from CPAN?

How do I keep my own module/library directory?
