  1. Where can I get a PERL Tutorial ?
    Right here:

  2. Is Perl 5 at /usr/local/bin/perl as stated on the support page?
    Of course it is :)
  3. did you upgrade The Perl version from Perl 5003 to Perl5.00404 ?
    Yes, we did :)
  4. Do you provide ERROR LOGS ?
    No, I am sorry. We do not provide error logs of any kind.
  5. What are the absolute Paths to Perl, Date, Sendmail, etc ?
    Absolute Paths to Date, Mail, Perl, etc.(Advanced Users)
    CGI scripts often require paths to common server resources. These paths are as follows:
    (puts you in your web directory) (puts you in your cgi-bin)
    Sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail
    Perl5.00404: /usr/local/bin/perl

    Date: /bin/date
    Java: /usr/bin/java
    Python: /usr/bin/python
    Absolute Domain path: /home/your_username
    Absolute Cgi-bin path:
    /home/your_username/yourdomain-www/cgi-bin
    YOU CAN CHECK THESE BY LOGGING INTO YOUR CONTROL PANEL, AND CHOOSING FILE MANAGER

  6. What PERMISSIONS are my PERL scripts supposed to be ?
    They should always be
    chmod 755

    Also, always remember to UPLOAD IN ASCII :)
  7. What is the path to PERL ?
    Perl5.00404
    Here is the path to Perl:
    /usr/local/bin/perl

  8. What do I have to name my PERL SCRIPTS ?
    INSIDE your cgi-bin, you can name your perl scripts anything...
    BUT
    OUTSIDE your cgi-bin, you MUST name them:
    .cgi
    Like p1.cgi index.cgi etc. YOU MAY NOT name them .pl outside of the cgi-bin, as they will never work like that :)

    Also, dont forget to UPLOAD IN ASCII and CHMOD 755 :)
  9. How do I program in Perl ?
    I am sorry, but we do not provide PERL programming support, please contact an experienced PERL programmer to assist you :)
