Another LWP Question

Hi all,

Just a quick question regarding where to put
the LWP Modules for a script i'm installing.

Not being overly confident with Perl I asked my
ISP if he could install it on the server. He
explained that I could just copy these modules
into my CGI bin and the program would pick it up
from there before looking at the Perl Directory.

My question is - is this correct do I just download
the files from CPAN and then copy them into my
cgi-bin? Is there anything else I need to do?

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards

Steve

You need to compile the module after getting it from CPAN. Take a look at the readme, and if you don't have shell access, you can just write a small perl script to do it for you and print any output to a webpage for you.
