Hello Tom, It is possible to add Perl to "your own" directory. First do a search for "perl5"-it is free, then download it, then transfer it to your server and set up the correct paths to it for your scripts. If this is too difficult, I am accepting new rings on my system at https://www.chief-moons-gallery.com/cmgringlink.html. give it a try. Mail and everything else works. Curt E.
