Hi Monks,

I've been looking for a way to generate images on the fly and I found the rather helpful GD CPAN module.

Wonderful! I thought and downloaded it and played with it a little and then decided to run it online on my web-site. This is where my problem is... the distro of Perl on my website doesn't have GD installed and I am unable to install it there. Is there another way I can do this? Include the source for GD some other way than "use GD;"

I'm sorry if this is a rather basic question but I've been tearing my hair out for the last 2 hours searching with no luck so I thought I'd ask if anyone can tell me how or just point me to the relevant part of the FM :)

Thanks!
Neil
