Yes, perl is supported, but not with mysql access enabled. It is preferred you use php since it uses less server resources to do the same things.

| Since I got subdomain hosting (today, thanks AlienCC!), the only thing I've noticed that was even partially bad was having to use phpMyAdmin to create databases, I'm more used to cPanel's MySQL icon. Oh well, I'll get used to it. Besides, it's probably better anyways. |

| It doesn't work because you never printed the header to the browser. |

Did you put it in your cgi-bin directory, or your public_html directory? Yes there is a reason for the cgi-bin directory afterall.

You should also try to execute that first through SSH.
Snag a copy of PuTTY. Search google for Putty and the first result will be the correct download site.
Logon as you would with SFTP using SSH (same user info and all)
Then go to your cgi-bin directory and execute the perl program from there as follows.
$ perl test.pl
It should print back to the console. If not, you may need to check the path.
# /usr/bin/perl test.pl
You get the idea. Once you get that working, you should next set a header to print the correct content type. |

nice program that putty  but no that was not what I meant, sorry for being unclear. The problem is that the pearl script does not execute; it displays the source as it would display a .txt file, instead of only displaying "hello". I noticed the cgi-bin directory, but I couldn't seem to figure out to which url it was mapped; the url wrigley.unitedti.org/cgi-bin/test.pl provides a 404 error.
I have now added the header information as you requested, but I can't see how it is necessary for testing, also there is a test.pl file in both the cgi-bin dir and the public_html dir, identical. Still nothing works. |
