You can publish your PERL files to any directory.

NOTE: The file's permissions must be set to execute to work.

If your account supports CGI or Perl (more info), 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";
