SPUG: Installing Crypt, not su

[Joe Devlin]

I am not the super user on a certain machine, but still want to install 
modules in my local directory.  I have several of my own modules
working.

The latest advice by the system administrators is that I should copy the
modules from the install directory into myAccount/cgi-bin directory.  This
has not worked properly.

Does anyone have a suggestion about what next steps I should try?
