That's actually very similar to my situation, and I sympathize. I was told verbally that I could use IIS, Access, and Perl (I didn't know it at the time) to whip up my project. And then inexplicably a number of Perl tutorials were flagged by the agency firewall at the time. Also, I tend to read sites like this one in case something useful comes up - and of course, these kinds of sites are blocked. I illicitly installed IIS, Access, and Perl while waiting for approval and the day the guy came in to install I faked some meeting so he'd come back in 20 minutes, uninstalled everything, and then let him install things. But that's not as funny to me as the original telling.
