Design Your Own Perl Codes

Powerhoster.com gives you the freedom to install your own script on your site. To install scripts in your cgi-bin dir execute the following steps.

----> Upload Scritps to your /var/www/cgi-bin directory. 

----> chmod any directory in your cgi-bin directory to 755

----> upload your scripts using ASCII

----> chmod the script 755

You will need to review the readme file that comes with your script and set it up correctly. If you get an internal server error please check your scripts' path, or upload manner(ASCII upload).

Remember to chmod 777 any files that need to be written to by the script.

You cannot run any perl script outside your /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

You can use http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/perscript.pl(or .cgi ) to call your perl scripts.
