Installing a CPAN Module online



I'm trying to install a CPAN module into my website's local cgi-bin directory and I just can't seem to translate the common documentation into something I can use online. I have unzipped the module files, and executed the accompanying Makefile.pl, and it looks to me like I got the correct PREFIX setting in the resulting "Makefile". But that's where I'm stuck. I need to simulate the common CPAN command-line commands:

% make
% make test
% make install

remotely. I think I should be able to write a Perl script to execute these commands, right? Host is running FreeBSD/Apache. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
