Bingo! (lol). That's quite right.

I just finished a weekend of work on a CGI script written in Perl (Free 
Software license) that lets those souls (they know who we .. er, they, are) 
who do not have shell access on their W3 server, still install Perl modules at 
the user level (to their own private dir, and without being root) using just 
FTP and the CGI application. Lots of work.

    best,
