    Host w/ right perl modules?

    Hi,

    I am looking to spend about 5-10 bucks a month for a site that should recieve a small/medium amount of traffic. I will be running a program that will require the following perl modules:

    Carp
    Data:umper
    HTML::Template
    Digest::MD5
    DBD::mysql
    HTTP:ate
    Encode
    DBI
    URI::Escape
    POSIX

    If you have any recommendations they would be greatly appreciated. My current host has not been very helpful and so I am looking for a welcome change. Thank you very much for your help!

    Jedito - I am currently signed up with GoDaddy - I have to upgrade my account to be able to execute perl scripts (therefore I cant see what modules are installed).

    I was just wondering if anyone knew of a host that would be willing to help me in a timely manner (i.e. faster than GoDaddy). Can you install perl modules through cpanel?

    You would need to contact the host directly to ask for those perl modules. I don't see you having any trouble finding one.

    Go through the forums, and see which company has good reviews here. Most of the hosts will install the modules for you for FREE and that's not gone be a problem at all.

    Happy Hunting

    BTW. You should be able to install or compile most perl modules and GD/ImageMagick inside your home directory. As long as you have linux hosting and shell access (witch is easy to find now a days).
