Would it be possible to 7zip up the virtual machine and upload using a Torrent?
I am pretty sure people would send you a coin for the download, I would for sure...
If you already have a distro setup, you can create a new user and follow the instructions I gave above for installing JSON::RPC::API in a local lib, and simply install the other prerequisite modules via it: Finance::Bitcoin::API and Math::Integral::Romberg being the other two ones I think.
In order to do that, the linux distro -does- need to have a working compiler, though.
Creating a virtual machine for this multipool looks a bit overkill to me..

Thanks for your suggestions- I've almost got it working (pending database download I think).
