Shell/SSH

[cl58]

Does HelioHost have shell/ssh access. If not, is there another way to run a perl script?

[Wizard]

No shell access. Off the top of my head, I don't remember if we even have perl installed...

[Byron]

Yes we can use perl.

Without Shell, though, how do you run the script/file?

Just create a file in your cgi-bin directory under public_html, and place the Perl "shebang" line (#!/usr/bin/perl) on the first line of the file. Below this line you may write Perl code. Make sure you make this file's CHMOD permissions 755, and output a Content-type header before anything else.

So all perl files have to go in the cgi-bin directory?

No not anymore. You should be able to run cgi/perl in any directory.
