Perl is one of the most established programming languages on the Internet. With its powerful string processing capabilities and the optional availability of almost every library imaginable, Perl is an excellent choice for somebody looking to allow flexibility and expandability. At HelioHost, we offer Perl configured with more than 100 basic libraries, and allow easy installation of all additional CPAN modules through your site's control panel.

How do I use Perl?
A great resource for learning Perl is the Perl.org Online Library. Whatever your level of experience is, there will probably be a book available for you.
Perl scripts are easy to configure and run. 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.
