2/3     Perl Gurus only:
        Let's say that I need a Perl module, but I don't have root to do
        "make install". Exactly what files do I need to copy to my local Perl
        directory, and how do I use the module that resides on my local dir?
        \_ when you make install, I believe you can go
           "make install PREFIX=/home/foo/local" or whatever and it'll do the
           right thing. Then stick "use lib '/home/foo/local/lib/perl5';" at
           the top of your script.
        \_ a separate question:  When I invoke multipule copies of perl(cgi
           scripts actually), the machine moves at snail pace.  When I have 10
           scripts running simultanouesly, the load shoot up to 25!! Anyway
           to get around this problem...and is linux/freebsd better at handling
           this type of job? with what type of hardware configuration?
           \_ It's probably out of RAM and swapping.  Does your machine have
              shared memory pages?
              \_ I am not sure.  The server is a ~175MHz machine(SGI most
                 likely) running IRIX with 256Mb of RAM.
                \_ ps.  top.
