Perl & Python

Can I use CGI or Perl Scripts on my site?

Yes, sure. You may use any CGI or Perl Script on Linux hosting accounts.

Each hosting account has it's own cgi-bin folder enabled which you can run .cgi and .pl (Perl) scripts from.

What is the correct path to Perl and other programs on Interspeed’s Linux hosting servers?

perl: /usr/bin/perl

perl-modules: /usr/share/perl/5.6.1

perl includes: /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1

sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

date: /bin/date

python: /usr/bin/python

Domain server paths:

(using the example domain name fred.com)

Main dir: /virtual/fred.com/public_html/

Cgi-bin: /virtual/fred.com/cgi-bin/

Please Note

You will also need to make sure the scripts permissions are set to 755. You can change permissions through your control panel access and most reputable ftp clients.
