can"t find xml-parsing module...

Hello,
I need to parse xml, but am not allowed to install modules on the
server. I have no idea which of the modules installed on the server
will do the job. This is the list of installed modules :

Re: can"t find xml-parsing module...

P.S.

the following creates a server error :

use CGI::XMLForm;

Has the admin or another authority specifically denied Perl modules? Or is
the restriction really that you don't have root access?

If it's the latter, then you *can* install modules, albeit only in your own
user space. Have a look at "perldoc perlmodinstall".

This is a Frequently Asked Question:

perldoc -q server error

Please - consult the available documentation before asking thousands of
people around the world to do so for you.

The Post Scriptum I added was not a question. It's meant to inform a
person who is attempting to help me, that out of the hundred modules I
have listed CGI::XMLForm is one that I have already tried but without
success. It's like asking "Besides CGI::XMLForm, do you see a module
here that can parse XML? Thank you."

Are you sure? Are you really sure? Are you really really sure?

Maybe you are not allowed to install modules in the shared module
directory.

Maybe you are not allowed to install modules that are not pure-Perl.

But if you are allowed to install scripts there is no reason why you
shouldn't be permitted to install pure-Perl modules in your own private
driectories. (There's nothing bad you could do by installing a module
that you could not do without).

[ ... a list of modules, all with single component names ]

That's not the full list. You need to list all the *.pm files
_recursively_ to get all the modules.

None of those parse XML.
