Problems Running Net::OSCAR on SSH

Hi. I've been trying to load a bot in Perl using Net::OSCAR and so far it works on a UNIX system with Perl 5.6.1 built for Sun4-Solaris. But I need to move it to an SSH server running Perl 5.6.1 built for Sun4-Solaris-64int, and I've been having problems loading it there.

Net::OSCAR seems to be having a problem loading the Digest::MD5 package. It says it can't find a loadable object module for it, but that problem vanished when I replaced MD5.pm with a different MD5.pm from my computer. And I'm not sure I was even supposed to do that. But now when loading Scalar::Util qw(dualvar), I get an error saying that dualvar is available on the XS version only. I've made sure that the XS package is installed on the server, and on the UNIX system, none of these errors occurred.

So my question is, does anyone have any idea what might be causing these errors? Or is it just that it's not possible to run Net::OSCAR on SSH? It's strange because it works perfectly on the UNIX system, but won't run on the SSH one. Does anyone have any help, ideas, anything? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you trying to run the module, you run it via your perl script Rolling Eyes

What I mean is, when I run my perl script, it gives me those errors. And through debugging and investigating, I've found that the errors occur when Perl reaches those lines of code in OSCAR/Common.pm that load Scalar::Util and Digest::MD5.

Unfortunately, Perl 5.6.1 is all that's available on the server I'm using. I thought that would be fine, since the Net::OSCAR module says 5.6.1 is all it requires.

What servers do you guys use to run your bots from that support 5.8?

5.8 is available for Solaris.

I'm not the root, so I can't install a new version of Perl.

Well the UNIX server on which the Bot program does work is also using Perl 5.6.1 and the bot's working fine there.
