ImpallaSS, Go to whoever's in charge of these things and say : "I can do this in $time the way things are currently set up. However, if you give me access to the tools I need, including the ability to get modules installed, it could be $time2, saving the company $lots."

It might be that they have a sysadmin install the modules for you; you might not need to do it on your own. But, based on some of the talk we've had in the chatterbox, you're trying to do a complicated thing that could be simplified a hundred fold if you had access to the correct tools. Explain to management what you need, and why. Present your case in terms of money saved, or time saved.

• 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.
