I have an iPlanet web server installed. Based on what you say, I need to be sure it is configured correctly to run scripts before I worry about modules. The permissions are set correctly on the files. I will be out of the office until July 6th. I will work on this whe I get back.
I appreciate your help.

decompressed, unpacked these modules and go through the Build process, I
get errors. I don't know what is causing these errors, nor where to look
to determine what is causing them. I know this is a very general
description. I am not even absolutely sure I am downloading the correct
modules to enable the scripts to run.

Does perl itself run ok? Aka as just a simple script, or even just:
perl -V
Technically you don't need any modules (especially from CPAN) to run a
simple CGI script, you only need a web server configured to run any kind
of script, the script to have execute permissions, and for it to print a
header and some content. Do you have a webserver installed and
configured? For instance, Apache.
Are you putting the modules or the scripts in /usr/bin? Modules built
with the standard process will not (likely) live in /usr/bin.
We are going to need more info to determine what the problem is with the
module installation, are your errors when you try to use them or install
them? In the case of installing them are you using the manual process
or using CPAN? In both cases can you run the build process up to the
point where you get errors and copy and paste the exact output (snip
anything you don't think we will need), this will help someone on the
list diagnose what your install problem is.
perldoc perlmodinstall
Has more extensive documentation on module installation.
Help us to help you, I am sure someone on the list can get to the bottom
of it....
