DBD mysql question

[redss]

A web server I need to work with has perl and mysql, but not the DBD::mysql module.

Is there a way for me to put that entire module set in my own cgi-bin, or do I have to try to get the admins to install dbd::mysql (which isnt likely)

The server is running redhat (but I don't know how to find out which version, let me know if you know how to find out)

thanks...

You should be able to put the files wherever you want and then add the directory to your search path using 'use lib'

e.g.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use lib('/path/to/modules');
use module;

Here is a nice google link to installing the libs in your local directory :
