anyone know soemwhere that will host my files as i learm perl? i have a domain.. and it claims to have perl 5 but when ever i run perl scripts on it they dont work.. and i mean SIMPLE scripts.. and helpfull information on how to get started would help alot.. im so confused and i dont know where to start... thanks..
 
You might want to consider working with the host of your domain to see if there might be something within the shebang (the
Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl
) such as it pointing to an invalid Perl home. I'm sure they would be able to help you make sure Perl is set up correctly from their end. After that, someone here could help with any actual script problems you're encountering.

Best of all is to get Apache so you can test it locally. It saves you from having to upload your file(s) every time. Just save it, and *poof* it's updated. :)
 
Yes. Once you have downloaded Perl 5, you will still have to have to have a web server. If Apache is too complex for you, you might try the Xitami web server.( Its free, small and easy to use.
