I would not just copy and paste the code you need. Create a local directory on your machine and save the CPAN files (which should be available in an archive format) on your hard drive or locker space or whatever is the easiest. Most universities with Unix systems can create public lockers that users can mount, or maybe you can share this in your home directory for others to use.

Then towards the top of the file

use lib "/path/to/mycpan";
[download]

You will be able to use most, if not all, modules as if you had installed them through the normal convention.

A good module to use might be GD

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
