Im using a unix server. I don't have administrator privledges and as I will be the only one using the module I installed it in a directory called perl_modules which I created in my home directory. I unpacked it then ran the commands above. I have looked for the Color.pm module and found it in ~/perl_modules/Imager/lib/Imager and ~/perl_modules/Imager/blib/lib/Imager. I think the problem came from when I ran "make install" (I didn't use the PREFIX parameter, I don't know what that is). It tried to create the directory /usr/local/lib/perl and was refused permission: "Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112". I want some way to install the module so that it is contained entirely under my home directory. (Also if you could tell me how to take a newline in this forum I could make my post tidier). I'm using perl v5.8.7. Many Thanks, Eoin
