You will not be able to override the system defined libraries... most of
which are in /lib.  I would send a courteous email to the admin asking him
if he/she would kindly update their libraries to the latest stable
releases.  Personally I am working with 5.2.18 and it works just fine on
my little unix system.

BTW:  If you are looking for space to house a DEVELOPMENTAL port of a mud,
let me know what you need, and I might be able to accomodate it on my
system (P133 32 Meg of Ram on a 128k dedicated link)
