Installing modules on shared hosting 1

[audiopro]

I have a little bit of experience installing modules onto my shared hosting platform. (mime::lite and HTML::Template) but I need to install a module now (

http://WWW::Mechanize)

which uses numerous other modules in it's operation. Is there a simple way of discovering and installing the additional additional modules?
I have seen a list of 'dependancies' is that the information I require?
Is makefile.pl just for local installations?

Is there a guide to this somewhere which is written in basic English rather than geek speak? I have read several Google results but yhey assume a lot of knowledge..

What OS is your shared server running? Do you have shell access?

Linux on the remote server.
Shell access - I don't think my host allows it but I could be wrong.

My little test script
This runs but adding mechanise gives a configuration error.

How can I get info about what is failing/ missing etc.
fatalstobrowser gives me no useful information.

#!/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use warnings;
use strict;

#use [URL unfurl="true"]WWW::Mechanize;[/URL]

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";	# prepare for HTML output

print "OK";

I'd check with my host if I were you: much easier if you can have shell access via SSH.

See if this helps at all.

I have installed the same module layout on another domain (same ISP) and it works OK. I suspect there is something wrong at their end so I have reported it. This ISP is usually quick to respond to faults and errors.

The problem was the old chestnut where the initial letter of the module name needs to be uppercase. Working on this server is made more difficult as fatalstobrowser doesn't work. That is now the subject of another question.
