in reply to How do I send one query to many sites & read back their replies?

if the unavailability of the module on your server is all that's stopping you from using it, why don't you set up your own module directory?

more information on how to do so can be found here.

if you don't have shell access to the server to build the modules yourself, you can mirror the server's directory structure on a local machine for the purpose of building the module and upload the result to the server via FTP.
