By default, you can publish your PERL files using one of the following file paths:
-
/yourabsolutepath/file.plwhere/yourabsolutepath/is your absolute hosting path. For more information, see How do I find my absolute hosting path?. - FTP to
/file.pl - Hosting accounts using Hosting Config 2.0 can use any directory.
NOTE: The file's permissions must be set to execute to work.
If you have a CGI/Perl or Java enabled account, the system path to our Perl interpreter is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
CGI binaries must end in .cgi or .pl. You cannot use /cgi-bin/ with our hosting system.
Example of a Test PERL Script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard); print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Greetings user.\n";
use CGI qw(:standard); print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Greetings user.\n";
