Somebody wants to know if he can put the LWP module in his own cgi-bin, since his ISP doesn't want to install it for him. Is this possible? Really difficult? Can it be done by somebody who doesn't really know what she's doing?

Usually, installing the LWP module isn't the major difficulty. Its usually making sure that your ISP has libwww installed as well. I am not sure if LWP has compiled information in it, but libwww most certainly does. If all this is working, you'll also need to specifiy in your program(s) the path to the module library. This can be done in a number of ways. Usually in

!#/usr/local/perl -I/<path to a module>

on the first line of any program.
