I found at a couple places where it said you could create a folder for uploading modules to and to include the directory to the search list by adding use lib "/path/modules"; (path is a substitute word for the real path) and then to call them the same as other modules with
use Module;
or if it is inside a sub folder:
use Subfolder::Module;
I downloaded a module from cpan and ftp'd it into the folder but when I try to run the page it says it can't locate the file although I see from what the error says that the path was included in the search. Is there something that needs to be done? I've tried different permissions on the directoris, files, etc., but keep getting the same message. Thanks
