CGI and PERL Scripting

CGI / Perl Scripts

CGI / Perl scripting is a powerfull way to enhance your web pages. With Perl, the potential is nearly unlimited.

All customer perl scripts are to be located in the following directory:

/home/<username>/virtual_html/cgi-local/

The /cgi-local directory itself and the cgi/perl scripts within must all be owned by the user and have the following rights:

755 - (rwx r-x r-x)

CGI/Perl Resource Paths

We allow all users to implement their own CGI/Perl scripts. There are a few common parameters that most scripts will require to execute, they vary depending on the configuration of the host. Below are some of these parameters that you may need to know when installing your own CGI/Perl scripts.

Perl Path - #!/usr/bin/perl

Sendmail Path - /usr/sbin/sendmail

Date Path - /bin/date
